Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has shaken up the team tonight, partly because of injuries to give others a rest, following Sunday's late draw against Chelsea.

It means there is a senior City debut for 20-year-old academy product Max Alleyne, who was recalled from a season-long loan at Watford to aid the club's injury crisis in defence.

He partners Abdukhodir Khusanov, with Nathan Ake, Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku also coming in.

Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, Nico O'Reilly, Rodri and Rayan Cherki drop out.

Man City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Alleyne, Khusanov, Ake, Gonzalez, Reijnders, Silva, Foden, Doku, Haaland.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurtzeler makes three changes from the side that beat Burnley last time out.

Pascal Gross makes his first start since returning from Borussia Dortmund in this transfer window, with Maxim de Cuyper and Jack Hinshelwood also coming in.

Joel Veltman, Brajan Gruda and Charalampos Kostoulas drop out.

Former City midfielder James Milner, aiming to be only the fifth player aged 40 or over to feature in the Premier League, is on the bench.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Gomez, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu, De Cuyper, Hinshelwood, Ayari, Mitoma, Gross, Rutter.

Team news is starting to drop at the games starting at 7.30pm.

Antoine Semenyo does indeed start for Bournemouth against Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Manchester City give a Premier League debut to 20-year-old defender Max Alleyne.

On Antoine Semenyo's future:

He is due to play against Tottenham, that will be his final appearance for Bournemouth. He is then due to travel up to Manchester, all of the arrangements are being made now.

He will have his medical and the likelihood is that there will be an announcement either on Thursday evening, or Friday. Unless there is a wild or unexpected twist, he is for all intents and purposes, a Manchester City player.
