Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester City vs Brighton

  Manchester City are preparing to host Brighton in the Premier League tomorrow, January 13. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "Manchester City are back - as in back playing well - and they made short work of Birmingham in the FA Cup on Sunday. They are building a nice bit of momentum already. "Brighton needed penalties to get past League Two side Newport on the same day, and it is a long time since they won in the league - 21 November to be precise. "Graham Potter's side have drawn five of those past eight games but I don't look at their trip to Etihad Stadium as being the day they end their wait for three points." Lawrenson's prediction: 3-0  source - BBC
