Champions Manchester City head to Brighton looking to build their confidence in the final two Premier League fixtures ahead of their Champions League final showdown with Chelsea.

City have already wrapped up the Premier League title and although Pep Guardiola could make several changes, the focus for the Spaniard will be on building momentum heading into their trip to Porto at the end of the month.

Brighton have secured their spot in the top flight for another season but know a few points in their remaining games could still see them move a few places above their current 17th position.

But with City boasting 12 successive away league victories and a 23-match unbeaten run away from home in all competitions – both records by a team in England's top four divisions – Brighton fans will be wishing their return to the Amex Stadium was against anyone but the champions.

City recorded a 1-0 win over Brighton in the reverse fixture in January with Phil Foden bagging the winner.

Our prediction: Brighton v Man City

The Seagulls battled to an impressive 1-1 draw with West Ham last time out, but with captain Lewis Dunk still suspended, Brighton's backline will struggle to cope with City's array of attacking talent.

Sergio Aguero has a decent record when playing Brighton and he'll see this match as an opportunity to bag one final brace or hat-trick to end his City career on a high.

Brighton have played some tidy football this season but Graham Potter is likely to be in for a Pep masterclass this evening.

Our prediction: Brighton 0-4 Man City (20/1 at bet365)
