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.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton extended their unbeaten streak to four games last time out by salvaging a late 3-3 draw against Brentford. The Seagulls remain in the hunt for a European place thanks in part to their excellent record away from home, where they've gone unbeaten since October.
AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Bournemouth's 2-1 victory over Fulham last Saturday lifted them out of the relegation zone. The Cherries have won their last two Premier League home games, and a third consecutive victory here would be a big boost in their bid to stay in the division.
