"Manchester City visit Brighton and Hove Albion hoping to get back to winning ways following a surprise home defeat to Tottenham last week. City were well below their best in their first home game of the season as Tottenham claimed a deserved victory. Brighton were hugely disappointing as they followed up an opening draw with Fulham with a defeat to Everton, and the Seagulls have a huge task on their hands if they are to upset City and kick-start their campaign."
"Brighton make three changes from the side that was beaten 2-0 at Everton last time out. Diego Gomez, Jack Hinshelwood and Joel Veltman come into the side, with Matt O'Riley, Yasin Ayari and Mats Wieffer missing out. Brighton: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, De Cuyper; Hinshelwood, Baleba; Minteh, Gomez, Mitoma; Welbeck. Subs: Steele, Gruda, Rutter, Milner, Boscagli, Kadioglu, Ayari, O'Riley, Coppola"
"Rodri makes his first start in almost a year for Manchester City, as he comes into the midfield in place of Nico Gonzalez. James Trafford retains his place in goal despite his error-strewn showing against Tottenham, but there are changes at the back for City. Rayan Ait-Nouri limped off in the first half against Spurs, but he is fit to play. However, Matheus Nunes comes in for Rico Lewis at right-back. Ruben Dias also drops to the bench, the centre-back replaced by Abdukodir Khusanov."
Manchester City travel to Brighton seeking a response after a surprise home defeat to Tottenham, a game in which City were well below their best.

Brighton make three changes, bringing in Diego Gomez, Jack Hinshelwood and Joel Veltman, with a bench that includes Steele, Gruda and Milner. Manchester City make notable adjustments with Rodri returning to midfield, Matheus Nunes at right-back and Abdukodir Khusanov starting at centre-back, while several players remain unavailable through minor injuries.
