Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Brighton & Hove Albion today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Brighton have just kept Arsenal at bay on the counter. If it wasn't for some smart defending, Calafiori was bursting through! A couple of free-kicks against them have riled up the home crowd. Arsenal will need to feed off that energy here to get anything more than the point.

Gabriel, that's vital defending to block from Welbeck! Brighton are really looking to assert themselves further. It's a real team effort as Mitoma cuts past White there. In fact, each of Brighton's last 10 Premier League goals against Arsenal have been scored by different players. Will that trend continue?

With his goal, Joao Pedro has now scored in consecutive Premier League appearances for just a second time, previously doing so in November/December 2023.

Ayari heads the ball over the Arsenal line as they try and clear a cross. Joao Pedro tries to bicycle kick it, but collides with Hinshelwood who heads it tamely wide.

Where he came on and made some magic last time out, Trossard now makes way. It's become a different kind of game since Rice's dismissal and Riccardo Calafiori enters the fray at left-back. It seems Arsenal are going to a 5-3-1.
