I'd like to tell you how Brighton's five debutants are getting on - but Albion have only had 23% of the ball. And City haven't forced Mat Ryan into a save yet.

City in control of this match, albeit not on the score sheet yet.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's first appearance in his technical area - wearing black sweater, beige slacks, black socks and white tennis shoes - brings wolf whistles from the fans behind him.

I promise that is the first and last time this season I mention what a manager is wearing.

Manchester City debutant Danilo - playing on the left side - plays a little one-two and then shanks his shot miles wide of the goal.

Chris Ballett: Brighton have built for this moment - credit to them. The stadium alone is that of a PL club - this isn't a flash in the pan.

Adesanya Gabriel‏: Silva and De Bruyne behind Jesus and Aguero. It's gotta be goals galore for City tonight.

Dan Bell: The Brighton midfield looks very weak, I can see City ripping them to pieces.

Kevin de Bruyne runs at Brighton's defence but just over-hits his through ball to Gabriel Jesus. It's a corner, which is cleared. It's all City now.

Brilliant play by Gabriel Jesus to flick the ball over the head of Lewis Dunk but his cross is cleared. And Albion get the corner away.

Manchester City have their first proper attack but Sergio Aguero air-kicks Kyle Walker's cross and Gabriel Jesus can't turn home a loose ball.

Sometimes a wing-back formation means five defenders - but Danilo and Kyle Walker are pretty much wingers at the start of this game.

Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne - it's fair to say Pep Guardiola wants goals this season.

Brighton's Solly March wins an early throw-in and Isaiah Brown just fails to head his head onto a cross. The crowd are loving this.

Here we go. Manchester City kick off at Premier League new boys Brighton.

A reminder that there are eight debutants - with six of them making their bows in English football. Not that I'm getting my excuses in early if I write the wrong name once or twice...

Brighton's last home game in the top flight was a 1-0 defeat by Manchester City on 7 May 1983.

Lots of big flags at the Amex Stadium, and lots of belief that Brighton will stay up too - even if Seagulls fans are not so optimistic about today's game.

Charlie Turner needed help from his sister Paiche (above) to unfurl their banner, and they were so keen to get it inside the stadium that they sprinted up the road towards the stadium.

It's a good effort but it is beaten size-wise by Stuart Harrison and his seven-year-old daughter Jessica, who struggle to get their flag through the turnstiles.

How will Brighton do, then?

"Today is hard to call," said Stuart, deliberately avoiding tipping his side for defeat. "But I think we will stay up."

Living 10 minutes away from the Amex Stadium, I've witnessed at close hand the Sussex buzz since promotion.

But Brighton fans know it will be a hard slog to stay up - starting with this beast of an opener. Manchester City have spent more this summer on full-backs alone than it cost to build the Amex!

Anthony Knockaert needs to be fit and flying as soon as possible. Glenn Murray needs to show age is no barrier to scoring at any level.

Pep Guardiola is piecing together a squad capable of playing his way, with the arrival of three quick defenders and the brilliant Bernardo Silva.

They should have enough to ruin Brighton's party but they need more defensive strengthening to win the league.

It's not only Brighton who have had quite a journey to their first Premier League game - Seagulls fan Alex Hayles has made a similar spectacular trip.

Alex has spent £3,000 to travel from Melbourne for today's game - he landed in England two hours ago, and goes back on Tuesday.

"I've spent quite a lot to be here but it's a special day," he told BBC Sport. "Am I confident? No, not at all but it will be fun and I am looking forward to it.

"I think we will stay up, though. The chairman Tony Bloom is doing a fantastic job and he knows what he is doing."
