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.

Expected Goals is a statistical term that quantifies scoring chances, measuring the likelihood of a shot resulting in a goal, with values assigned between 0 and 1.
