Man City vs Brighton

Join John Brewin for updates from the Premier League matches being played on Wednesday.

Having made the FA Cup final and recovered from exiting the Champions League, Chelsea have less at stake but Thomas Tuchel is not one for letting up on his players, though his team did lose this fixture in May last year when the Champions League final had been reached. Manchester City v Brighton (8pm UK time kick-off): Brighton were very good on Saturday at Spurs, to follow up beating Arsenal the previous week, and looked to pose a bigger threat to City than Liverpool did to Manchester United last night. Newcastle v Crystal Palace (7.45pm): Perhaps Palace’s season ended in that rather drab semi-final loss to Chelsea, but Newcastle have been fun to watch on the field of late, with Bruno Guimarães already hitting levels of Geordie South American folk hero of Nobby Solano levels. To face Crystal Palace, Newcastle make no changes from the team that beat Leicester while Palace make four changes from Wembley, including the return of Conor Gallagher to the team. Kevin de Bruyne is risen for City, and that’s a big deal, not least because Leandro Trossard, the Brighton match-winner at Tottenham, is absent. He is already on the bench and doing much better. The confidence he has to receive the ball in any area of the pitch shows a lot of courage and then there’s his work ethic as well. City are knocking on the door, and with real menace. It’s rancorous at Everton, where the home team have gone close after a slow start, Richarlison missing a good chance. Marcel Bout has departed from his role as head of global scouting after eight years with the club. Jim leaves the club with our warmest thanks for his significant contribution and our very best wishes for the future. On a more genuine note, I am pleased for Poch to land a league title given how often the trophy stick seems to be used to beat him.”

Kevin De Bruyne will make his 300th Manchester City appearance against Brighton and Hove Albion as he returns to the starting XI as one of six changes.

His return is a welcome boost for Guardiola, after the Catalan revealed that he was reluctant to introduce him against Liverpool at Wembley for fear of aggravating a foot problem and potentially losing him for longer. It’s a milestone night for De Bruyne, who becomes the 39th player in the Club’s history to clock up a triple century of appearances. The Belgian should be the most advanced of the midfield trio, pushing up to support Bernardo Silva, who looks set to lead the line up front, with Mahrez on the right and Foden operating off the left.

Manchester City beat Brighton and Hove Albion in a crucial Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium.

You can see why Brighton have picked up good wins at Tottenham and Arsenal in their last two games though - they're compact, have a good structure and have a plan on the break. Brighton have nothing to lose and they've been nice and compact, everyone behind the ball. City are starting to turn the screw and you wouldn't bet against them from adding to their lead. City are running riot out there and that man Foden is right at the centre of it. It's not the usual City we're used to seeing. Ruben Dias is on, with John Stones moving to right-back and Joao Cancelo on the left. As the clock ticks past 80 minutes it would be impossible to deny City have completely deserved this one-sided victory. We had to score the first goal to open up the game. The only way is to have the players fit. With six matches to play, City have restored their one-point advantage at the summit. There was a bit of tension around in the first half, Brighton made it difficult for them and they needed that bit of luck to break the deadlock. City got a bit of luck with a couple of their goals so it's job done.

Manchester City restore their one-point advantage over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with victory over a resolute Brighton.

Manchester City hopes their time outside the top of the Premier League table will be limited to 24 hours and the obstacle to that desire is Brighton.

28′ — BIG SAVE!! Robert Sanchez gets high to get a paw on Bernado Silva’s 17-yard strike, but he still has work to do in shepherding Phil Foden from turning and firing the rebound on goal. But wait, the Brighton high press leads to a corner kick… But the chances on the counter are not coming, as City has shepherded the Seagulls wide of the formation. 38′ — City remains frustrated by constant grabbing from the Brighton team, which is packed-in and daring the referees to call every single tug. HT — What’s City going to do at the break? 66′ — GOOOOOOAAAALL!!!! Sometimes you need to get a bounce, and Man City have now gotten two.

"We had to win 14 games in a row to win the title before," Guardiola said. With Brighton beaten, Silva added a late third to seal the win that moved Pep Guardiola's side onto 77 points from 32 games. After Liverpool climbed to the summit with a 4-0 mauling of Manchester United on Tuesday, City struggled to issue a response in the first half at the Etihad Stadium against a well-organised Brighton.

Man City are back at home on Saturday when they host Watford at the Etihad; kick-off 3pm. "In the end, the quality of opponent means you are going to concede. We have to learn from it." "We defended really well but we didn't play as well as I think we can. We didn't concede a lot and we were incredibly aggressive. In this kind of mood, there aren't many better in world football than the City star. Sometimes we can win, we can lose, but we give everything."

The ball came to Mahrez, he finished with the help of a deflection, and City celebrated. The manager was now in arm-waving mode, semaphoring Silva and Foden to pull wide and hectoring Aymeric Laporte. De Bruyne had run the match thus far and a simple stab of the ball from him into Brighton’s area allowed Ilkay Gündogan to hit the ball goalwards, Lewis Dunk’s block saving his team. City were cruising along in third gear but had no opener to show for their ascendancy on entering the first half’s closing phase. He was less enamoured with how Marc Cucurella hoofed the ball straight out at one point, but the manager still offered encouragement to the left of his three centre-backs. And if City beat Watford here on Saturday Liverpool will have to stew overnight on a four-point deficit before their Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield.
