Can Brighton do Liverpool a favour?

Brighton's form in recent months has been somewhat troubling, although they were surprisingly impressive last weekend in a 1-1 draw at Arsenal, perhaps playing without pressure after Crystal Palace's win over Cardiff meant that Chris Hughton's side were mathematically safe. Brighton won't seek to outplay Manchester City, but they are capable of sitting deep and frustrating them. You can refer to the soccer tip today share with us!

Hughton is unlikely to make many changes from the side that could easily have defeated Arsenal. Mat Ryan made some good saves in that game, and Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy - Brighton's second top-scorer behind Glenn Murray - defended the box well. Expect a few blocks from that pairing here. Right-back Bruno will be playing his final game for the club and might be thankful he won't be facing players as quick as Leroy Sane any more, while Bernardo offers speed down the left flank.

Knockaert may return

In midfield, Dale Stephens will sit in front of the defence, with Yves Bissouma springing forward sporadically but probably spending more time coping with Bernardo Silva, while Pascal Gross will be tucked into an inside-right position in the midfield trio, and might find David Silva positioning himself in pockets of space behind him.

Out wide, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Alireza Jahanbakhsh drop out after a quiet display at the Emirates, where he also conceded an early penalty. Anthony Knockaert would come in on the right flank, while Solly March would continue on the left. Upfront, Murray has led the line well this season but Florin Andone might be the better option against a City side likely to dominate possession.
