64 min: Correction, it was Savinho, not Nunes, who tried to score the most Mo Salah goal imaginable on that occasion.

62 min: Nunes gets the better of Adingra down the left but is unable to pull the ball into the path of Haaland. It’s recycled and Nunes tries to curl a shot inside the far post after cutting inside from the right. Wide.

59 min: Adingra opts for a safety first approach as he puts a crossfield ball from Simpson-Pusey out of play for a throw-in deep in inside his own half under pressure from Nunes. It’s nicely poised, this game.

57 min: Matt O’Riley comes on for his long overdue Premier League debut, replacing the injured Jack Hinshelwood in Brighton’s midfield.

56 min: Igor shins the ball over his own bar as he cuts out a Haaland cross that was heading straight for Savinho at the far post. Excellent defending – he could easily have scored an own-goal.

55 min: After dogged work on the edge of the Brighton penalty area by Rico Lewis, Gundogan tries to poke the ball past Verbruggen at his near post but the angle is far too tight.

53 min: There’s a break in play as Hinshelwood receives treatment,. He really should have scored with that powerful header after connecting with Estupinan’s cross from the left but sent his effort too near Ederson.

52 min: Ederson is forced into action again, clawing away a downward header from Hinshelwood from seven yards out.

51 min: Adingra sends a cross from the right to the far post, where Mitoma’s weak header fails to trouble Ederson unduly. It’s catching practice for the City goalkeeper.

48 min: Brighton advance with Welbeck on the ball and it’s played wide to Mitoma, then back across to the other side of the pitch. Matheus Nunes bodychecks Adingra but his blatant foul goes unpunished by the referee, Sam Barrott. The denizens of the Amex Stadium boo disapprovingly and there’s a short break in play while Adingra receives treatment.

46 min: Interviewed by Sky just before the restart, Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler said he has told his players to play with “more courage and intensity”. He seemed to think they were paying their exalted visitors too much respect.

Second half: Brighton 0-1 Man City

Half-time: Brighton 0-1 Man City

45+2 min: Estupinan runs on to a passs from Igor and has a cross put out for a Brighton corner. They won’t get to take it as the flag had gone up for offside. It’s half-time.

45+2 min: We’re into two minutes of added time, which seems excessive as there have been no substitutions or injuries and the ball rarely seems to have been out of play. Never mind.

44 min: Igor bundles over Haaland in the centre-circle and is booked for dissent after complaining about being penalised. It’s a cheap yellow.

42 min: Another rare chance goes to waste for Brighton after Mitoma gets the better of Walker and squares the ball. Neither Welbeck nor Rutter can get to it before its cleared. Brighton have upped their game considerably in the past 10 minutes are are very much back in this match.

40 min: City are awarded a throw-in halfway inside their own half, despite the ball not actually going out of play. Danny Welbeck voices his displeasure to no avail and play resumes.

38 min: Rico Lewis is booked for a foul on Welbeck and Brighton have a free-kick about 30 yards from the City goal. Welbeck, the Brighton skipper, sends the ball fizzing narrowly wide of the right post.

35 min: Brighton have their first chance of note, Gvardiol sliding to block Welbeck’s shot after the striker had beaten Kovacic for pace and been slipped in by Mitoma. The ball actually hits Gvardiol’s arm but as he was sliding but there’s no way it was a handball, even in these strange times.

34 min: Ederson gets the ball launched upfield and sends it into the stand on the right of the pitch. That’s a very rare miskick from him.

32 min: Manchester City corner. Gundogan’s delivery towards the far post sails into the gloves of Bart Verbruggen.

29 min: Nunes plays the ball inside to Kovacic, who shapes to shoot from distance, thinks better of it and plays a low pass forward to Lewis. Moments later, the ball wends its way back to Kovacic and this time he has a pop, which Verbruggen saves. City are in a state of almost total dominance and Brighton are on the ropes.

27 min: Matheus Nunes is penalised for a blatant technical foul on Veltman but avoids a booking.

26 min: Another sweeping City move ends with Haaland forcing Verbruggen into a smart save at his near post with a powerfully struck right-footed effort.

25 min: That was a beautifully weighted pass from Kovacic but Haaland needed the strength of an ox and two bites of the cherry to hold off two Brighton defenders and beat Verbruggen.

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Man City (Haaland 23)

22 min: A Rutter cross from the left is too close to the City goal and Ederson claims comfortably before Welbeck can do any damage.

21 min: Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is playing in the middle of a back three when City are in possession and the 18-year-old hasn’t put a foot wrong thus far in his Premier League debut.

19 min: Yasin Ayari is is booked for dragging Phil Foden to the ground with both hands as the City man tried to escape upfield. He can have no complaints about that.

18 min: On the stretch trying to reach a cross from the left at the far post, Erling Haaland can only shin his effort high over the bar. City are getting on top.

17 min: Whatever about Mitoma v Walker, Estupinan v Savinho is already shaping up to be a very one-sided contest. As things stand, the Brazilian has the Brighton left-back on toast.

15 min: Bart Verbruggen gets down to deny Savinho with an outstretched leg as the City winger ran on to a Mateo Kovacic pass and bore down on his goal. Good save!

15 min: Mitoma tries to pick out a Georginio Rutter run in behind the City defence with a nicely weighted pass but the Frenchman is flagged for offside.

14 min: An attempted Savinho cross from the right towards the far post drifts just over the Brighton bar and lands on the roof of the net.

12 min: Veltman plays the ball in behind for Yasin Ayari to chase but City had pushed up. The Brighton midfielder is miles offside.

11 min: Past the 10-minute mark we go and we’ve yet to see a shot from any player on either side.

9 min: Nunes tries to take on Veltman again but gets no change from the Brighton defender and is forced backwards. Moments later, Savinho takes on and beats Pervis Estupinan out by the right touchline and gets to the byline but is unable to pick out a teammate with his pull-back.

8 min: Mitoma puts Walker under pressure as he tries to clear from the City right-back area but the ball goes out for a throw-in off Brighton’s Japanese winger.

7 min: Mateo Kovacic plays a ball over the top for Savinho to chase but puts far too much welly on his pass. Bart Verbruggen is quick out of his goal to claim the bouncing ball.

4 min: Danny Welbeck coughs up cheap possession to Walker in midfield and City advance upfield before giving the ball back to their hosts.

3 min: City ping the ball around at the back under a fairly energetic Brighton press. Kaoru Mitoma v Kyle Walker should prove one of this game’s more intriguing battles.

2 min: Matheus Nunes gets the ball down to the byline for City but is prevented from crossing it by Joel Veltman. Brighton force the visitors backwards.

Brighton v Man City line-ups

Early team news

Without Adam Webster, Solly March, James Milner, Brighton are also sweating over the fitness of Yasin Ayari, Lewis Dunk and Yankuba Minteh, but could include Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley in today’s matchday squad after their respective spells on the sidelines.

With their Ballon d’Or winner Rodri out for the season and Oscar Bobb still recovering from a fractured leg, Pep Guardiola has other injury concerns to contend with as Jack Grealish, John Stones and Ruben Dias could all miss this evening’s game.

In better news for the champions, Kevin De Bruyne has been included in their past two matchday squads and got back on the grass for a few minutes during City’s midweek Champions League defeat at the hands of Sporting.
