It's hardly overstating it to say that every game for City is now a must-win. They trail Liverpool by two points with seven games to play, following the Reds' 4-0 victory over Manchester United yesterday.
Their opponents aren't likely to roll over and hand them the three points, either: they come into this game off the back of successive wins over the Champions League-place-chasing Arsenal and Tottenham, so they know all about beating teams higher up the table.
Both sides will be missing key players for this match. Man City defender Kyle Walker is still injured while for Brighton, midfielder Yves Bissouma will serve the first of a two-game suspension and Leandro Trossard also misses out.
Here's how they line up:
Man City: Ederson, Joao Cancelo, Stones, Laporte, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Foden.
Brighton: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella, Lamptey, Gross, Caicedo, March, Mac Allister, Mwepu, Welbeck.

How to watch the Manchester City vs Brighton live stream in Canada
Canadians can watch the Manchester City vs Brighton live stream on DAZN.
Sadly, DAZN no longer offers new customers a 30-day free-trial period, so you'll have to pay the $20 CAD per month fee, although you can save a little by buying annually ($150 CAD). DAZN, if you're unfamiliar, has apps on every single streaming platform there is.
