Manchester City can close the gap on table-toppers Arsenal with a win over Brighton at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon. And a win is exactly what the layers expect from a Pep Guardiola side smarting from their defeat at Anfield last weekend.
City are 2/9 with Betfred to pick up all three points, while the Seagulls are 14/1 to cause the shock. It's 6/1 about a draw.
The Premier League champions were building up a major head of steam, prior to last week but they stumbled, unexpectedly so in Copenhagen and then at Anfield, where City's record is not great. It's unlikley that there will be any lasting hangover from that but it does mean that City have fallen four points behind Arsenal, who just keep on winning.
