Paul Merson states his prediction for Brighton vs Manchester City

Paul Merson has stated his prediction on  Brighton vs Manchester City in the Premier League match on Saturday, March 15, 2025.

The Seagulls are currently 7th in the league table, while City are 5th.

Ahead of the game, Merson shared his prediction on Sportskeeda.

"Huge game in the race for top four. Over the years, you would've looked at this fixture and thought, 'City win'. But now we all know this one is hard to call! When you go to a place like Etihad as an away team, you need to turn up. If Brighton can do that and play well, there's no way they aren't coming off the pitch without getting a result," said Merson.

"Can Brighton do it? Well, even if Manchester City aren't playing great, the Etihad is still a hard place to go and get the win. I'm going to back City here. However, I must admit that it's purely because of their reputation and not based on how they are playing now. If Brighton win, they go above City in the Premier League table. Now that makes it a must-win game for the hosts and I expect them to get the three points."

Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
