Brighton and Hove Albion start their first ever season in the Premier League and home form is going to be important for them if they want to survive. They have a tough start though with a home match against Manchester City. The visitors have already spent over 200 million pounds in the craziest transfer window ever and probably haven't finished yet. They have worked hard, well handed over big cheques to be fair, to bolster the defence that let them down so badly at times last season. Only Chelsea had a better away record in the Premier League last season and they can get their season off to a good start with a win in this game. Brighton have made signings during the summer but when their record signing is only six millions pounds, they can only hope to survive this season, finishing one place above the relegation zone is almost a title triumph to them.  Their hopes have been hit already by the news that midfielder Beram Kayal is going to be out for eight weeks with a broken leg. Brighton finished second in the Championship last season but still lost nine league games. Go for City to get the win in this match with more than 1.5 goals in the match.
