The air-tight, three-team race for the Premier League title will resume on Thursday when reigning champion Manchester City hit the road to face Brighton & Hove Albion at American Express Stadium in Falmer. City exited the weekend in third place in the Premier League table with 73 points, one point behind top-of-the-table Arsenal and second-place Liverpool. However the Citizens have played one fewer game than both the Gunners and Reds.

Before you lock in your Manchester City vs. Brighton picks or Premier League predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others. Green also has been solid with his Premier League picks this year, going 21-14 (+6.92).

Green knows that City's Phil Foden is a world class midfielder who is in the midst of arguably the best season of his career. The 23-year-old has scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season, which ranks second on the team and is three more than his previous career high. He also has seven assists, which is a career-high and is tied for second on the team.

Green also has taken into account that the Seagulls will face a City team that is in the midst of a demanding stretch of games. On April 17, City played Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal and failed to advance, losing 4-3 in penalties. Three days later, the Citizens eked out a 1-0 win over Chelsea in a FA Cup semifinal. And then just two days after the game against Brighton, City will head to Nottingham to face Forest in another crucial EPL match.

Now, Green has taken a close look at this Premier League match from all sides. He is leaning Under on the goal total and has locked in two confident best bets, including one that would pay plus-money, and a full breakdown of this Premier League match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
