MAN CITY return to the stadium where they lifted the Premier League trophy last season as they face Brighton at the Amex.
Pep Guardiola’s men have fond memories of this ground, where City’s 4-1 victory in May 2019 secured the championship by a single point.

Having lost their crown to Liverpool this campaign, Guardiola will be keen for his side to show more than they did when just down the coast at Southampton last week.
Brighton are safe from the drop barring a miracle run from either Aston Villa and Bournemouth, although Graham Potter’s side have lost their last two home matches.
