Brighton vs Manchester City preview: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match on DAZN in Canada

Manchester City look to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they visit Brighton & Hove Albion.

Pep Guardiola's side are coming off a loss at home to Tottenham — the second straight such result between the sides at the Etihad — which took the shine off their season-opening four-goal win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Meanwhile, Brighton are still looking for their first Premier League win of the season after drawing with Fulham in Matchweek 1 before falling 2-0 to Everton in the first league match at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Seagulls are coming off a victory however, as they thrashed Championship side Oxford United 6-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

"They are still a top team. They are playing a little bit of a different style and shape, but they are still Manchester City."

"One game at a time. That is the target. [Thursday] we enjoyed the draw of the Champions League. We are going to be there with the elite of European football and after two games I have the belief we are going to do a good season."

Brighton vs Manchester City prediction

The Seagulls have the unenviable task of facing Man City immediately after a bad loss, and I don't think it's going to go well for them.

Prediction: Brighton 0-3 Manchester City
