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?

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City

It's been a slow start to the second half by City, they've not got going yet and have almost been found out by the home side, who have started well.

Stoppage in play now as Hinshelwood is down with an injury and is receiving some medical treatment. However, it looks like he will be fine to continue.

CHANCE! Estupinan delivers an excellent cross into the penalty area from the left wing and it's met by the head of Hinshelwood, who powers a header towards goal. However, it's too close to Ederson, who makes a good save to deny Brighton the equaliser.

Decent chance! Mitoma is found in plenty of space with a cross from the right and he should take a touch and try and fire a shot away, but instead heads it back across goal for a teammate. However, it lacks power and Ederson comfortably gathers.

Brighton with some good possession at the start of the second half, they're keeping it well and have forced City to get everyone back behind the ball.

There could have been a few more goals in the opening half, with Opta giving City xG 1.91, compared to just 0.39 for the home side. A second goal would make it difficult for Brighton to get back into this one and a win today would send them top of the table.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City

Manchester City are on course to end their losing streak in all competitions as they lead 1-0 at the break, thanks to Haaland's 12th goal of the season. City looked strong from the first minute, with Verbruggen forced into action a few times in the Brighton goal as Savinho and Haaland went close. The goal came from a quick counter after Brighton lost the ball in midfield and a Haaland raced through on goal, firing it past the keeper to put City ahead. He should've doubled their lead just minutes later, but Verbruggen and the post came to Brighton's rescue.
