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?

There will be a minimum of two minutes added time played at the end of first half. There is still a good pace to the game, it's been an exciting 45 minutes despite only one goal being scored.

Just a few minutes left to play before the half-time whistle, can Brighton find an equaliser before the break? Or will City extend their lead?

This is much better by Brighton as we approach half-time, they are seeing more of the ball as City drop deeper to soak up the pressure ahead of the break.

Not too far away! Welbeck steps up to take a free-kick around 25 yards out, he gets it up and over the wall, but it flies narrowly wide of the right hand post.

CHANCE! Mitoma races down the left wing, cuts inside and lays the ball off to Welbeck who is racing into the box. The striker fires a low effort towards the bottom left corner of the net, but Gvardiol does brilliantly to get back and makes an excellent block.

City look like they might score everytime they push forward on the counter, they are opening up the Brighton defence and it could be a few more here already.

Good strike! Kovavic has a go from the edge of the box, but his volley is too close to Verbruggen who makes a good save and pushes the ball away to safety.

We're at the half an hour mark now and it's City who lead 1-0 thanks to Haaland's 12th Premier League goal of the season.
