Your support makes all the difference.Kevin De Bruyne is a better all-round footballer than Mohamed Salah and could play for any club in the world, according to Brighton boss Chris Hughton. “For me, De Bruyne’s the more complete player and I think it's taken an exceptional season from Salah to win the awards ahead of De Bruyne,” said Hughton.
De Bruyne has been instrumental in Manchester City’s impressive Premier League title success but was beaten to both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards by Liverpool's prolific top scorer Salah.
Albion face the in-form duo in a daunting end to the season, with Wednesday's visit to the Etihad Stadium followed by a trip to Anfield on Sunday.
And, while Hughton has great admiration for both men, he thinks Belgium international De Bruyne just has the edge. Follow live coverage of the match below.

12 min: A well-stuck effort from Anthony Knockaert is Brighton's first real foray forward but the Frenchman's shot is wide.
14 min: HITS THE WOODWORK! Jonjo Shelvey free-kick from the edge of the box hits the right-hand post. An early warning for Spurs after Moussa Sissoko's foul produced the opportunity.
15 min: DANILO SCORES FOR MANCHESTER CITY! The Champions equal the record for most goals in a Premier League season with their 103rd goal. It comes courtesy of their onrushing right-back, who finishes well after being played through by Leroy Sane. A lovely counter-attacking goal from City.
20 min: ULLOA LEVELS THINGS UP! The big Argentinian forward makes sure City's lead is short-lived, heading home after Davy Propper rounded Claudio Bravo. This is Ulloa's first Brighton goal since returning to the club on loan in January.
