Manchester City vs Brighton LIVE: Latest goal updates and coverage

Follow live updates from the Etihad Stadium

Pep Guardiola on Yaya Toure's time at Manchester City

Kevin De Bruyne is a better all-round footballer than Mohamed Salah and could play for any club in the world, according to Brighton boss Chris Hughton. “For me, De Bruyne’s the more complete player and I think it's taken an exceptional season from Salah to win the awards ahead of De Bruyne,” said Hughton.

De Bruyne has been instrumental in Manchester City’s impressive Premier League title success but was beaten to both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards by Liverpool's prolific top scorer Salah.

Albion face the in-form duo in a daunting end to the season, with Wednesday's visit to the Etihad Stadium followed by a trip to Anfield on Sunday.

And, while Hughton has great admiration for both men, he thinks Belgium international De Bruyne just has the edge. Follow live coverage of the match below.

Key Points

• City only require two points from their final two matches to set a Premier League record tally for a single season, eclipsing the 95 earned by Chelsea in 2004-05.
• Brighton's 1-0 home win over Manchester United at the weekend ended a six-match run without a victory.
• Benjamin Mendy in contention to make his first Premier League start since September.

It could be a record-breaking night at the Etihad. A Manchester City win would take the Premier League Champions to 97 points, surpassing the previous high in a single season of 95 (Chelsea, 2004-05).

A notable absentee for Chelsea tonight is Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian has suffered a back injury. Willy Caballero starts in goal.

Manchester City debut the 2018-19 home kit tonight. It is certainly something different.

Arsene Wenger takes charge of Arsenal for the 1,234th (and penultimate) time tonight. Who would have predicted such longevity when the Frenchman was hired back in 1996?

Extremely positive news from Manchester United tonight:

We are underway at Stamford Bridge. An early goal, perhaps?

Kickoff at the King Power Stadium, too.

4 min: As anticipated Chelsea have had all of the ball early. Huddersfield's five-man defensive unit holding firm thus far though. They did well against Manchester City on Sunday.

5 min: Marcos Alonso stings the palms of Jonas Lossl with a powerful half-volley, but the Terriers' keeper is strong at his near post. Lovely pass from Cesc Fabregas to set Alonso free.

7 min: Not a whole lot happening in Leicester thus far. Harry Maguire looked to have picked up a knock early on but he seems fine now.
