Brighton defender Bruno is up for their opening Premier League clash with David Silva's Manchester City.

The pair played together at Valencia.

The full-back said: “It is going to be special to play against David, because we were team-mates and he is a top player as well.

“Usually, Silva does not lose too many balls.

"We need to play a hard game and make them feel so uncomfortable from the first minute. If I have to be physical with him, I will. I don't want to injure him, but we need to play hard and after that play on the counter-attack."
