Lewis Dunk, McAllister and Evan Ferguson, the young striker, are being rested for this game.
But it's still a strong side, it's still 4-2-3-1.
I will say again, for people out there, to really watch how Brighton play.
Look at the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper and Van Hecke and Carwell will control the game.
It's like their home base, everything starts from the goalkeeper and those two centre-backs with their build-up play.
Fascinating to watch, then of course they try and build through, play through the lines, to get it up front to Danny Walbeck.
Manchester City the champions of course, naming a strong team today.
A strong attacking team, I mean it's hard to find a back line.
I mean, Rico Lewis is a defender but we've seen him more recently playing in midfield.
Rodri, someone's got to go back there, not just going to play with two players.
So I think that'll be the back three.
Gundogan starts alongside Lewis and then after that, I mean, wherever you look, there's talent, there's goals, there's creativity.
Foden's not played quite so much, same with Miles on the other side, but they're two brilliant players.
And Erling Hahn and Rebecca Woolworth wanting to add to his tremendous goals total.
Flynn is alongside Conor McNamara.
Yes, this should be entertaining.
The two teams who have taken the most shots this season out of all Premier League sides.
Brighton have been a favoured opponent of Manchester City.
The champions have won more Premier League games against tonight's hosts
and City have scored more Premier League goals against Brighton than against any other opponent in the past.
But of course, that was the past.
And this is the new Brighton now, as they try to win possession.
Van Hecke.
Welbeck, good first touch.
Enciso.
Welbeck wanted to return it to Enciso.
How the Paraguayan had the legs taken out from under him.
Freak.
How brave is Pascal Gross feeling here?
Pretty brave, but not threatening Ortego.
Cleverly left by Matoma if that was his intention.
This is Enciso's flick on.
Bernadotte was arriving.
Brave from Rico Lewis.
Down goes Gilmour.
And this free kick is definitely within shooting range now.
He might feel a goal against City is overdue.
Stupignone got his first goal for Brighton against Arsenal.
Earlier on this month is the left-footed option.
It is Welbeck.
Haaland to Mares.
Is Haaland onside here?
He might be, you know.
One-on-one with Steele.
Supported by Foden.
And it's in from Manchester City.
Despite the attempts of Van Hecke on the goal line.
Phil Foden makes it five goals in his last five starts against Brighton.
25 minutes in.
It's the champions who strike first.
But was Haaland onside?
Well, that's the query.
You know, I just wonder whether it was gross.
It was just kind of loitering a little behind the others.
And could have stepped up and maybe caught Haaland.
But very unselfish of the Norwegian just to pick out Phil Foden.
But this is wonderful as well.
The way Mares came inside on his left foot.
And got that little bending pass onto the path of Haaland.
And yeah, I mean, Van Hecke is a little unlucky that he can't get more behind it.
Phil Foden just about did enough.
And I guess that the bounce of the ball didn't help.
And perhaps when they do get another chance.
That they'll have the composure to take it.
Swung in by Pascal Gros.
Mitthoma!
Martin will celebrate.
Will want to sign off on this.
Has it come off his hand?
And even accidentally that would rule out the goal for Karo Mitthoma.
Yeah, there's the flick on from Welbeck.
And he slips around the back.
In fact, it's not.
Yeah, the on-field decision was handball.
And VAR have agreed with that.
Yeah, I mean, once the keeper saved it.
You can see it just comes off his arm.
He knows nothing about it.
It's just been a very good performance from a Brighton team that are not at full strength.
Can they get back at level terms in CISO?
So you improve your conversion rate?
It's the first time he's ever scored at the Amex.
He may never score a better goal here.
Admitting that he's just got me off my seat.
It doesn't happen very often.
But that is absolutely outstanding.
I mean, once he's fed from Colwell.
Who had the space to get up the pitch.
And Gundewijn's desperately trying to get back.
He just made up his mind he was going to take it on.
The crowd are watching this on the big screen.
Postage stamp.
That's the only way you can describe that.
Fabulous.
Absolutely fabulous.
The champions are dragged back on level terms.
Mitoma.
This is Danny Welbeck.
Bag is raised.
Welbeck's celebration brought to a premature halt.
Some finish of the tight angle.
But he was offside.
Yeah, well I think he would probably admit.
In terms of his left foot.
And the angle.
And how acute it was.
That's probably the best finish.
He's ever managed with it.
Mind you.
Here comes Mahrez.
If any team has got a late trick up their sleeve.
Fodor!
So close.
To restoring City's lead.
Oh, Rodri.
Under pressure from Bernadotte.
Manchester City very relieved to hear the whistle.
They began a lot better than they're finishing the half.
Manchester City.
But I'm blaming.
Their performance on Sunday night.
And their hangover.
It looks as if there's a hangover or two at play.
Rounds of applause around the stadium.
On the south coast.
What an enjoyable first half.
Of football.
But make no mistake about it.
Pep Guardiola's champions.
Have found themselves.
In a proper battle here tonight.
Van Hecke to Welbeck.
The energetic nature.
Of that first half.
It feels.
Sure to continue.
You can't imagine either of these.
Deciding to take.
A backward step now.
Bernardo Silva had a look to see where Haaland was.
Norwegian went for the spectacular.
From Mottoma.
And he's again asked.
Too much of.
Glenn Enote.
Ortega had to come out of his penalty areas.
Who couldn't pick it up.
This is gross.
Mottoma.
What a touch for Ferguson.
John Stones was where he needed to be.
However.
Ferguson gets another bite.
He's only been on the pitch.
A couple of minutes.
And it was Roberto Deserbe.
Job done.
I'm your man.
McAllister.
Estupinon.
Good whip on that.
Mottoma.
Saved by Ortega.
Out for a corner.
Well done the keeper.
Feltzman again.
That's a good ball.
Ferguson.
Couldn't keep it within his grasp.
Estupinon.
Puts the laces through it.
And a big beaming smart because he knows.
That was not far away at all.
Cole Palmer.
Lewis again.
Gundogan.
Palmer.
Yeah, it's Colwell.
There's a pull of a shirt.
And you know what?
I think that's probably going to go against Holland.
Holland pulling back Colwell the number six.
As they jostled for position.
Fans almost as loud as if they'd scored themselves.
There's a change coming on.
He wants to.
Bring Sergio Gomez on for John Stones.
And Kelvin Phillips is being hastily prepared as well.
Well.
Pep Guardiola was probably as relaxed as you'd see him on Sunday.
The lifting of the trophy.
Casual demeanor.
The game face is back on tonight.
A little, a little sorry and a little apology there.
For the assistant Adrian Holmes for Pep Guardiola.
And Pep.
Nods and accepts.
Yellow cards coming his way.
He thought.
Allen's goal should have stood.
That's how good they've been tonight.
Palmer against Veltman.
And Veltman grabbed him on the way through.
Yellow card for the Dutch defender.
Perez is standing over this.
Riyad Mahrez too.
Holland waits.
There he is.
Holland with defenders swarming.
Referee brings the whistle to his mouth.
Listen to the cheer.
Of the Brighton supporters.
It will be Europa League.
And not Europa Conference League.
For Brighton next season.
And overall.
This will be very satisfactory.
Particularly for Roberto Di Zerbi.
Two coaches who show such mutual respect and affection.
Phil Foden's goal.
Who set City in front in the first half.
Before.
An absolute screamer.
From Julio Enciso.
Leveled things up at 1-1.
