"Starting with the hosts, eventually falling short last season as they missed out on the chance to book another lucrative European ticket, Fabian Hurzeler's men have largely failed to make much of an immediate impact. Despite extending on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a stellar 6-0 romp away at Championship outfit Oxford United, the Seagulls have put just a single point on the board from their opening two Premier League appearances."
"While Georginio Rutter could undergo a late fitness test ahead of Sunday's showdown at the Amex, the former Leeds talisman remains a major doubt this weekend. Likewise, all still dealing with respective knee injuries, Brighton have already confirmed that the trio of Julio Enciso, Adam Webster and Solly March remains on the sidelines. Jack Hinshelwood is expected to make a first Premier League start of the season."
Manchester City travel to the Amex seeking an immediate response after a recent league defeat. Brighton recorded a 6-0 EFL Cup win at Oxford United but have only one point from two Premier League matches. Brighton defeated Manchester City 2-1 in their last meeting in November 2024 and will look to repeat that result at home. Georginio Rutter is a major doubt, and Julio Enciso, Adam Webster and Solly March remain sidelined with knee injuries. Jack Hinshelwood may start and Danny Welbeck is expected to return. A betting verdict expects goals in both halves.
