Both Manchester City and Brighton will be looking to bounce back from defeats when they meet on the south coast on Sunday. City had produced an opening-day performance at Wolves that pointed to them being strong contenders to regain the Premier League title. However, they were insipid at home to Tottenham last week, slumping to a deserved 2-0 defeat. It has been a frustrating start to the season for Brighton, who conceded a late equaliser against Fulham in their opener before being punished for profligacy in a 2-0 loss at Everton.

For Everton, the end of last season was all about Goodison Park. With the club's Premier League status secure there was room for sentiment. Everton said goodbye. Now, it's hello time. The first league visitors to the Hill Dickinson Stadium will be Brighton & Hove Albion, who know a thing or two about moving home themselves. After a defeat and a draw respectively on opening weekend, Everton and the Seagulls will be desperate to leave their mark on a historic day.
