We're all thinking of the same sweets when we hear the name Percy, right? Amirite?

Leandro Trossard wasn't too far away then but I never got the feeling he truly believed he was going to score.
There was hesitation about his run as he made his way into the box and he didn't attempt to ease the Manchester City defence out of position.

The best play down the right-hand side has involved Joao Cancelo. He has had an absolutely brilliant season and been phenomenal for Manchester City. I didn't think anyone would question the position of Kyle Walker in this team but he definitely has.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
Jamie, at 18:18, I've just had it confirmed from Opta that Percy Tau is indeed the only Percy to ever play a Premier League game.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
I like watching some of Brighton's players. Percy Tau looks decent and he finds Alex Mac Allister - who is a really good footballer. He plays a good ball forward to Leandro Trossard, who cuts in and curls a right-footed effort just wide of the far post.

Emlyn, is this our first ever Premier League Percy? I can't recall another one in the EPL era.
Jamie, London
Good question. I'll try to find out for you.

It's funny to think Kevin de Bruyne turns 30 this year. It feels like it took him a long time to reach the elite.

Best chance of the game so far and there is no surprise that Kevin de Bruyne was in the middle of it!
Man City 0-0 Brighton
City's biggest chance. Kevin de Bruyne plays a one-two with Ilkay Gundogan and is in on goal but Robert Sanchez is off his line quickly to save the shot.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
Nice skill from Leandro Trossard on the left wing and he crosses it in. It's beyond Davy Propper and reaches Joel Veltman on the right wing but his shot (?) is off target.

Man City are on top without a doubt but the neat way Brighton play it out from the back.
They don't just lump it and expect the ball straight back to them again. They play it out with a bit of belief about themselves, conviction in their ability and they have got themselves in some fairly dangerous positions with the final ball.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
Brighton's Leandro Trossard gets a bit of treatment after Joao Cancelo accidentally whacks him in the face. He's fine to come back on and continue the game.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
A couple of dodgy crosses for City - from Riyad Mahrez and Joao Cancelo on the right - cost them the opportunity to create a chance.

Mark in Stockport: Got to disagree with Pat Nevin. City are a very exciting team but sometimes they can be very boring to watch with their Chuckle Brothers brand of, to you, to me, to you type football.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
City's first proper attack as Phil Foden finds Oleksandr Zinchenko in the box but the left-back's shot hits a defender.

Ben White has been given the job of killing the space between Man City's attack and defence. He is going to have to have eyes in the back of his head.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
If Manchester City win this match, they will have the same points tally as they had after 16 Premier League games last season (32).

I don't think Manchester City are used to what is happening against them just now because the Brighton "front three" are a little bit further forward than City usually get here at the Etihad.
Being bit under a little bit of pressure, so that's why they looked a little bit scrappy early on. Good work from Brighton - ask City a few questions.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
A good turn of pace from Percy Tau in midfield. He finds Alexis Mac Allister and just as away fans would be getting out of their seats, Bernardo can't keep the Argentine's pass onto the left wing in play.
