Brighton and Hove Albion face a stiff test tomorrow afternoon as they travel to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium for a 3pm kick-off.
It hasn't been an easy month for the Seagulls, who have gone winless in their four games, culminating in a goalless draw at home against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
Man City, who were unfortunate to suffer their first league defeat of the season at Anfield last weekend, sit in second place behind pace-setters Arsenal, while Brighton remain in the top half.

The freakishly brilliant Erling Braut Haaland is the Premier League's top scorer, netting more times (15) than the entire Brighton squad (14) so far this term.
The 22-year-old Norwegian forward averages 1.5 goals per game, meaning he's on course to net 57 times if he plays all 38 top-tier games this season (the current record is 34).
Haaland needs 20 more goals to break the long-standing Premier League record of 34
Brighton and Manchester City have met on 28 occasions, with the Citizens winning 18, Albion victorious on six occasions and 4 matches ending all-square.
Last season saw Pep Guardiola's side win both matches by an aggregate of 7-1 (4-0 and 3-1).
Injury and suspension news

Manchester City's Kyle Walker (groin), John Stones (hamstring) and Kalvin Phillips (shoulder) are out of this one.
The home side will otherwise be at full strength.
Brighton will be without Kaoru Mitoma (ankle) and Jakob Moder (knee), while on-loan defender Levi Colwill faces a late fitness test.
Possible line-ups
Manchester City (4-3-3):
Brighton (3-4-3):
Prediction: Man City 4 - 0 Brighton
This is the worst possible time to face a City side stung by their defeat at Anfield last weekend.
Expect goals... Albeit at the wrong end for Roberto De Zerbi's team.
