The Reds could move seven points clear of Arsenal with a win over Brighton

Alexander Isak leapt to meet Anthony Gordon's cross in the first period to give the home side the lead and they were able to comfortably see out the victory in the second period.

The result means Arsenal are now without a win in three Premier League games, having lost to Bournemouth and drawn at home to the Reds in their previous two top-flight encounters.

City have been boosted by the return of a number of players to the squad for their clash with the Cherries. Kevin De Bruyne is back on the bench with Jeremy Doku, while Kyle Walker returns to start.
