The Premier League champions 2022/23 return to action for their penultimate game of the season. With the title all tied up, will Pep Guardiola's side ease up to save their legs for the crucial FA Cup and Champions League finals coming up in June?
It seems unlikely. City haven't lost a game since early February and are on an astonishing 12-game winning run in the Premier League.
Brighton have little left to play for either. Trying to leapfrog Liverpool into fifth looks unlikely, while a three-point and plus-14 goal advantage over Aston Villa makes sixth-place – and Europa League football – all but assured.
The Seagulls have been a peculiar team of late: impressive wins against Manchester United and Arsenal, and a 6-0 shellacking of Wolves, have been buttressed by humbling defeats to Nottingham Forest, Everton and Newcastle.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.
Team news
Brighton are without Tariq Lamptey, Solly March, Adam Lallana, Jeremy Sarmiento, Adam Webster and Jakub Moder.
Nathan Ake is Manchester City's only injury concern, and is likely to remain out ahead of the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
