The Seagulls have taken just two points from their last three games and, as mentioned, blew a 2-0 lead in the final few minutes against Leicester last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Palace, meanwhile, have well and truly turned a corner after a dreadful start, losing just one of their last eight across all competitions, climbing out of the relegation zone in the process. The Eagles drew 2-2 with Man City last week but will feel they did more than enough to justify the win.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton have dominated this rivalry recently, unbeaten in six and winning two of the last three meetings, including 4-1 at home in February. We expect another Brighton win this time, although nowhere near as comfortably.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Crystal Palace (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/betmgm-sportsbook?q=gb-all-tmp-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">11\/2 with BetMGM<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Manchester City vs Manchester United<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1370495\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-999x999.jpg 999w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-66x65.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/12\/13231518\/1370490_1370490_team_smart-radar-comparison.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sunday, 15th December, 4:30pm, Sky Sports Main Event<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Preview: <a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/preview\/man-city-vs-man-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/preview\/man-city-vs-man-united\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-1706\"><span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Man City\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">vs<\/b><\/span><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">\u00a0Man United predictions, stats, tips &amp; team news<\/b><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sky&#8217;s portion of Sunday&#8217;s action concludes with the clash of the weekend as Man City welcome rivals Man Utd to the Etihad.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, both sides are in desperate need of the result, with City&#8217;s awful run leaving them eight points off the top of the table, while United are languishing down in 13th, only two points further away from the relegation zone than they are from the top four.<\/p>\n<p>In the Premier League, at least, Man City have managed to take four points from their last two games, thrashing Nottingham Forest 3-0 at home before battling to a 2-2 draw at Palace last week.
