Player who injured is definitely will affect the result since the substitute player isn't as good as the main line up, I only talk about the skill while chemistry, strategy etc also give a big effect to other players. Not many teams have a balance main line up and substitute player, I think only Brighton have this, whoever who play, the result will not be different.
Let's see how Brighton faces Manchester City this week at the Etihad Stadium, because currently Manchester City's appearance is starting to look different even though it is still strong enough to win. But if Brighton can beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, this will actually be extraordinary for Brighton because it will continue to create increasingly exciting competition in the Premier League standings table. However, I am also still not sure about Brighton in terms of beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Playing at home gave city advantage despite the fact many players are absent due to the injury. It's quite impossible to expect brighton to beat city at etihad but the chance is still there. I would rather than believe if city will beat brighton with narrow score instead of brighton beat city. The odds was pretty good for manchester city cuased by bookies were aware with the performance of manchester city at this moment. City got 1.45 which mean if bookies are not fully trusting city here.
It must be less than it if bookies was showing its confidence for city to win the game against brighton. Im not expecting city to win with huge margins caused by the club is still struggling to beat arsenal in the last match.
Even though city is in advantage but im not yet feeling confidence with the performance if city.
