Brighton vs Man City LIVE: Premier League score and updates from Amex Stadium as Haaland nets opener
Pep Guardiola’s men hope to move to the top of the table with a win against the Seagulls
Brighton host Manchester City in the Premier League hoping to put in a similar performance to their outing against Liverpool last weekend.
Although the Seagulls lost that match 2-1 they took the lead against Arne Slot’s side and made the current league leaders work hard for their victory and will hope to replicate that against Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions. Before the Liverpool game Brighton were on a three-match unbeaten run and will hope to capitalise on a weakened City side.
Guardiola’s men defeated Southampton 1-0 at the end of October but have lost their last three games. Tottenham defeated them in the Carabao Cup before Bournemouth won 2-1 in their last Premier League outing and Ruben Amorim’s Sporting CP hammered them 4-1 in the Champions League. Can they end that streak today?

City seem to have seen off the early Brighton storm here and are now seeing much more of the ball and are pushing forward themselves.

Welbeck has either scored (3) or assisted (1) a goal in each of his last four Premier League games – he’s never registered a goal involvement in five consecutive matches in the competition before.

Hinshelwood is still struggling with the injury he picked up a few minutes ago and he can't run it off, so he's coming off and O'Riley is his replacement.
