Kyle Walker gives the ball away tamely in midfield and that allows Brighton to break. Danny Welbeck's ball is behind Brajan Gruda, though. They rebuild and a cross from the left drifts over all the City defence but Welbeck's touch is loose and Ederson collects. Brighton 0-1 Man City That will be Georginio Rutter's last contribution. He and Simon Adingra make away for Joao Pedro and Brajan Gruda. Brighton 0-1 Man City This game hangs in the balance. Kaoru Mitoma does well to spin Kyle Walker and lay off for Pervis Estupinan to cross. Georginio Rutter gets there but his header loops comfortably over the bar. Brighton 0-1 Man City Steve Sidwell Former Aston Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Two names stand out on the City bench - Kevin de Bruyne and Bernado Silva. What a game it could be for them to come on. They both can pick out a pass or split a defence which could lead to the vital second goal. Brighton 0-1 Man City Man City are enjoying a good little spell. Matheus Nunes does really well to skip past a tackle and drive to the byline but his cross is blocked. They quickly win the ball back, though, and Savinho is one-on-one with Pervis Estupinan again, but he curls an effort comfortably wide.

Brighton 0-1 Man City Steve Sidwell Former Aston Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Good to see O'Riley back. It was a horror tackle on him against Crawley that ruled him out for so long. Two of Brighton's midfielders have gone off now so it's interesting. They will have to try and regain their balance. Brighton 0-1 Man City The visitors manage to isolate Savinho against Pervis Estupinan again. The Brazilian skips past the left-back, again, but then his pass is loose and Brighton clear. Brighton 0-1 Man City Steve Sidwell Former Aston Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live You're thinking Haaland is going to shoot. It's a tight angle and he drills it low and hard towards Savinho but it's a brilliant clearance from Igor. He does really well to get it over the bar. Brighton 0-1 Man City Jack Hinshelwood isn't able to continue. He is replaced by Matt O'Riley. Brighton 0-1 Man City Crucial interception. Erling Haaland gets in behind the Brighton defence and drives towards the area. He drills across the six-yard line and Igor Julio slices over the bar with Savinho waiting to tap in. Brighton 0-1 Man City Man City's turn to get forward. Joel Veltman misjudges the spin on the ball and that allows Ilkay Gundogan to get to the byline. His cross is blocked though and Bart Verbruggen is able to collect. Brighton 0-1 Man City Steve Sidwell Former Aston Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live They work it really well. Esptupinan drills a cross right on the money. We've seen Hinshelwood score headed goals in his young Brighton career. He's not the tallest but he has a leap and he was unmarked. Unfortunately he headed it straight at Ederson but it was a real chance. Brighton 0-1 Man City Jack Hinshelwood needed some treatment after landing awkwardly following that header. He is OK to continue, though. Brighton 0-1 Man City Steve Sidwell Former Aston Villa and Brighton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live I am so confused how that wasn't given as a free-kick outside the box [see 48 mins]. The Man City player is very lucky. Baleba has certainly made an impact so far in this second half. Brighton 0-1 Man City Almost an equaliser. A lovely move sees Brighton work a crossing opportunity from the left. Jack Hinshelwood rises highest in the middle and powers a header towards goal but it is pretty close to Ederson, who is able to push away. Brighton 0-1 Man City A little dinked ball finds Kaoru Mitoma at the back post but his header back against goal is tame and Ederson collects easily. Brighton 0-1 Man City It has been a pretty sedate start to the second half so far. Brighton have had more of the ball, though. The crowd are booing again as Samuel Barrott opts not to give a foul for a tackle on Carlos Baleba. Brighton 0-1 Man City Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Sky Sports at half-time: "We have to play with more courage. City were very dominant in the first half and we didn't play with courage or intensity. "We have to press together, if we do it individually then they have the quality to solve the situation so we have to do it together and with intensity. " Brighton 0-1 Man City Steph Houghton Former Manchester City defender on Sky Sports Man City have dominated all over the pitch. I don't think we've seen Brighton at their best. Down the right hand side for City, they have been so clear and concise and Savinho has probably been City's best player to be honest.

Manchester City have taken 37 points from 42 available against Brighton in the Premier League (W12 D1 L1), with their only dropped points coming at the Amex Stadium (2-3 in May 2021, 1-1 in May 2023). Brighton have dropped 10 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, only four fewer than they did in the whole of 2023-24. Indeed, both of the Seagulls’ defeats this term have come after they’ve taken the lead (2-4 v Chelsea, 1-2 v Liverpool). Brighton are unbeaten in their five Premier League home games so far this season (W2 D3) – only in 1982-83 have they had a longer run without a home defeat from the start of a top-flight campaign (7). Manchester City’s 32-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end at Bournemouth last time out. Only in October 2023, December 2018 and December 2016 have they lost consecutive league games under Pep Guardiola. Manchester City have conceded the first goal in five of their 10 Premier League games so far this season – it’s the first time they’ve done so in as many as half of their opening 10 games in a campaign since 2006-07 (also 5). Only Leicester City (55%) have converted a higher share of their big chances in the Premier League this season than Brighton (46% - 12/26). 73% of Man City’s goals conceded in the Premier League this season have come in the first half of matches (8/11), the highest share in the division this term. Four of these have come in the opening 15 minutes – only Ipswich and West Ham (5) have conceded more, while it’s the highest proportion for any side (36%). Brighton’s Danny Welbeck has either scored (3) or assisted (1) a goal in each of his last four Premier League games – he’s never registered a goal involvement in five consecutive matches in the competition before. Man City’s Phil Foden has scored more Premier League goals against Brighton than he has against any other opponent, netting eight goals in just seven starts against the Seagulls. However, Foden has failed to score in any of his seven Premier League games this term, last having a longer run of appearances without a league goal between May 2019 and March 2020 (15). © 2024 BBC.
