Brighton and Hove Albion take on Manchester City at the Amex Stadium, while Nottingham Forest and West Ham United meet at the City Ground.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola makes four changes from the team that lost to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Rodri and Bernardo Silva come in for Rico Lewis, Ruben Dias, Nico Gonzalez and Rayan Cherki, who is missing from the matchday squad.

Phil Foden is also absent.

James Trafford keeps his place in goal, while Rayan Ait-Nouri is fit enough to start after coming off injured in Gameweek 2.

Brighton make three alterations to their starting XI.

The hosts bring in Joel Veltman, Jack Hinshelwood and Diego Gomez.

Mats Wieffer, who is not in the squad, Yasin Ayari and Matt O’Riley make way.

Georginio Rutter returns from injury to make the bench.

It’s much more straightforward team news from Nottingham Forest, who are unchanged.

Everyone saying how bland PL football is and I agree entirely. Hardly watch any these days.

I’d recommended getting yourself out and watching some non-league games. No VAR, proper tackling, standing pitch side with a beer, banter, no full-kit tourists, it’s bloody brilliant. I was out yesterday stood in the rain watching AFC Totton v Eastbourne Borough in the National League South. £15 in advance. Late winner on 86 mins for a 2-1 win for Totton. That’s my 7th match already this season and we go again on Tuesday evening v Chesham Utd.

I’m near enough done with PL now, apart from watching bits for FPL purposes.

  I went back playing football about a month ago after not playing for almost 9 years. That’s how you enjoy it again !

    Even just going for a kick about is 100 times better than watching the PL.

  Ah nice, Chesham United is my local and have been down a few times. Up the Generals!
  
  Also, our club sponsor is Taskmaster as Alex Horne is on the board if you know who that is/are a fan of the show

    Yeah I’d did see that. Chesham won the Southern League Div 1 South a few years ago and we have managed to do similar with 2 promotions in 3 seasons. Jimmy Ball is our boss, Alan Ball’s son.
