CHANCE! Haaland should do better! Foden whips an excellent free-kick delivery into the box and it evades the Brighton defence, allowing Haaland a free shot on goal at the far post. However, the striker is reaching for it and can’t turn his effort goalwards.

CHANCE! Savinho should score! The winger cuts in from the right wing and Foden plays the ball in behind the Brighton defence for Savinho, who only has Verbruggen to beat from a tight angle. However, the keeper gets down quickly and makes a great save with his feet to deny him his first City goal.

City are playing quite a high line at the back, which Brighton are trying to exploit by playing quick balls in behind. However, they’ve been caught offside a couple of times early on.

Not too far away! Lewis switches the ball across to the right to Savinho, who tries to pick out Haaland with a cross with his weaker foot, but his curling strike ends up landing on the top of the net.

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).

Lewis is playing as a central midfielder at the moment, rather than a right-back, with a back three for City of Walker, Simpson-Pusey and Gvardiol. They’ve not been troubled by the hosts at the back yet.

This is better from the home side, they work it out from the back well and Rutter does brilliantly to turn and skip past Gvardiol on the halfway line, who dives into the back of the striker, giving away the free-kick.

Almost! Haaland makes a good run in behind the Brighton defence, with Gundogan trying to slide the ball through to him, but it’s cut out in the nick of time.

City with the early possession here as you might expect keeping it well in the middle of the pitch as Brighton get everyone back the ball to soak it up.
