The Trafford goalkeeper is likely to remain in goal despite last week's mistake, while Erling Haaland is ready to mark his 100th Premier League appearance.

On Brighton's side, there are no new injury concerns following the matches against Everton and Oxford. However, Georginio Rutter's participation remains uncertain due to a minor injury. Adam Webster, Solly March, and Julio Enciso continue to be sidelined with knee injuries; Enciso's potential moves to Strasbourg and then Chelsea also fell through due to fitness issues.

Latest football match prediction: Brighton vs Man City

Man City still haven't broken the Tottenham jinx, despite their perfect start to the season with a 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton in the opening round of the Premier League.

However, when Tottenham traveled to the Etihad, Pep Guardiola's side crumbled. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring with a perfect counter-attack, before goalkeeper James Trafford made a costly mistake gifting Joao Palhinha the second goal. The injury to new signing Rayan Ait-Nouri in the first half further exacerbated City's disappointment, allowing Arsenal and Liverpool to pull three points ahead. This defeat also ended City's 11-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, Man City can be confident going into their away game against Brighton, as they are on a run of five consecutive unbeaten away matches in the Premier League, keeping a clean sheet in all five. If they continue to keep a clean sheet, City will set a new record – the first time they have kept six consecutive clean sheets away from home in the Premier League. In fact, they have only conceded one goal in their last seven away games in the league.

Meanwhile, Brighton suffered a bitter defeat at Everton's new stadium, Hill Dickinson Stadium. Fabian Hurzeler's side lost 0-2, with both goals assisted by Jack Grealish – a City player currently on loan. Prior to that, Brighton had also drawn dramatically with Fulham in the opening round, leaving them with only one point from their first two games – their worst start in 15 years, excluding the 2017-18 season.

Nevertheless, Brighton regained their momentum with a crushing 6-0 victory over Oxford United in the League Cup, thanks to a brace from Stefanos Tzimas. They also have fond memories of having won 4 out of 6 matches against Man City last season. If Hurzeler avoids defeat this time, he will become only the second manager in history to not lose to Guardiola in their first three encounters, after Ronald Koeman.
