How to watch Brighton vs Man City: TV channel and live stream

Brighton sit 18th in the table after making a slow start to their season, struggling to inspire in a 2-0 defeat at Everton and a 1-1 draw with Fulham.

They roared back to form in midweek, though, trouncing Oxford United 6-0 in the Carabao Cup. Fabian Hurzeler named a much-rotated side for that tie, and will have his first team well rested for City’s visit.

Guardiola’s outfit will, of course, prove a considerably more challenging opponent, but the Seagulls will hope to carry their momentum from that huge victory into a crunch league clash.

Newly signed striker Stefanos Tzimas was at the double in the Oxford win, but Hurzeler said he does not plan to rush him into a senior squad role: “There are different demands in a Premier League game than the game today.

“He (Tzimas) came into a game where it was already 3-0 so it’s not the intensity you can expect in a Premier League game.”
