Man City vs Brighton preview
Just days on from their tight Carabao Cup clash, Man City and Brighton go toe-to-toe in the Premier League on Saturday.
City twice fought back from being behind to force the game into penalties, with Lewis Dunk missing the vital spot kick for the Seagulls.
The hosts had managed to rest several key men ahead of this one, looking to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season last time out.
But it's a confident Brighton that will make the trip, having extended their unbeaten run inside 90 minutes against City to five games now.
Enzo Maresca's men maintained their lead at the summit but it's now down to goal difference and Brighton arrive in third spot, looking to close the gap to their hosts to just two points with a win.
Brighton are also the league's top scorers and sit three goals ahead of Man City who are second in that statistic.
Incredibly, only Arsenal and Leeds have conceded fewer than Fabian Hurzeler's men too, making them a difficult opponent once more.

Man City vs Brighton betting tips
It's always a tight game when these two meet, even when plenty of changes are made as they were in midweek.
City managed to rest plenty of their key men though and are looking to bounce back from that defeat at Villa Park.
Brighton will make things difficult though and a rare blank for them in defeat at Anfield last weekend is something they'll look to put right.
The hosts can edge this one - just.
