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:

Inciso can't hold onto the ball. However, Semenyo can't capitalise on the mistake either. Brighton have barely given Bournemouth a sniff at goal since half-time.

Mitoma, who's been lively all game, reaches the byline with a stop-start run and tests Neto at his near post. The Bournemouth goalkeeper is up to the test.

Brooks can't get past the excellent Estupinan in Brighton's box. Smith's frustrated to have handball given against him as he arrives in support.

Brighton are close to finishing Bournemouth off. Mitoma gallops into space down the left and finds Gross, who lays off for Welbeck. Neto gets in the way of the substitute's drive.
