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:

Ayari embraces the hobbling Caicedo and replaces him in midfield for Brighton.

Thankfully Caicedo is back to his feet. It looks like this is an injury he won't be able to run off though. He'll have to go off.

Caicedo is down receiving treatment in the centre circle. The medics are preparing a stretcher, so it seems quite a bad injury.

Neto makes a great save to keep Bournemouth in the game! Gross has time and space to blast straight down the middle from the edge of the box. The Cherries captain dives to his left to push the shot aside.

March floats a cross into the box that Gross can't control. Estupinan lashes well over from distance.
