Man City vs Brighton live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV
Everything you need to know
Manchester City host Brighton and Hove Albion looking to keep pace at the top of the Premier League.

City will move into the top four with a win, and keep the pressure on champions Liverpool and new leaders Manchester United, following their win at Burnley on Tuesday.

"We feel that we have improved, certainly performance-wise, results-wise we haven't," Brighton manager Graham Potter said. "That's the challenge for us, we have to improve that.

"Performance-wise we have got better, funnily enough the game at the Etihad last season we were quite satisfied with, even though the scoreline was 4-0.

"It's a fantastic challenge, they're one of the best teams in European football. What better way than to play against that sort of opposition?"
