No live UK broadcast for Saturday's Etihad meeting
Manchester City host Brighton at the Etihad tomorrow, four days after the sides met in the Carabao Cup. The 3pm kick-off places the game inside the Saturday afternoon television blackout, so it will not be shown live in the UK.
Supporters in Britain can follow updates via Manchester City's official Matchday Centre, with CITY+ providing live audio commentary. A two-minute highlights package will be available from 7pm, and extended highlights plus a full-match replay on CITY+ follow from midnight.
For those in the United States, NBC Sports has confirmed live coverage on Peacock and NBCSN. The game also forms part of Peacock's Premier League Multiview offering during Saturday's five-match 11am ET window.
The Premier League has appointed Craig Pawson as referee, with Lee Betts and Alex James as his assistants.
Rulli the shootout hero as Maresca shuffles
City came through Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie on penalties after a 2-2 draw, with Geronimo Rulli making two saves in the shootout. Enzo Maresca made nine changes for that game, resting several senior players.
Attention now returns to league matters, and a response is needed after last weekend's defeat at Aston Villa. City begin the weekend top of the Premier League. Brighton arrive in third after an impressive start to the season.
Four days between fixtures against the same opponent is unusual, and Maresca's team selection will be worth watching. The nine changes on Wednesday suggest he has one eye on the league, where City sit top despite that Villa setback.
Brighton's early form adds intrigue. Third place is not a fluke at this stage, and they will arrive with confidence after pushing City to penalties in the cup.
