AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Brighton's victory cements their place in sixth in the Premier League table. They're unbeaten in their last five league games now and look well placed to keep up their push for European qualification. Bournemouth stay 18th but are within three points of Crystal Palace of 12th. The bottom half of the table is still ridiculously tight.

Brighton extend their unbeaten run away from home to seven games! The Seagulls had the better of this battle of the south coast as soon as Ferguson scored the opening goal. Bournemouth troubled their visitors at the end of the first half, but De Zerbi's men got a grip in the game in the second and finished their hosts off late on.
