Man City vs Brighton live score, updates, highlights, lineups, and result from the Premier League
Manchester City will aim to get their Premier League title defence back on track when they host Brighton & Hove Albion in an intriguing clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side were beaten by a late deflected Gabriel Martinelli strike when they travelled to face title rivals Arsenal prior to the international break, making it back-to-back league defeats after a surprise 2-1 reverse at Wolves.
You have to go back to 2016 and the second half of Manuel Pellegrini's final year at the helm for the previous time City lost three Premier League games in succession and Guardiola will be keen for a positive result and performance heading into next weekend's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Brighton are sixth in the table, three places below City but are winless across four matches in all competitions after a 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool last time out.
