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:

Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton prevailed 2-1 over Manchester United late on, last time out. This put them in second spot on six points. They are level on points with first-placed Manchester City in the formative table. Previously, Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 2-0 away, and now look to home comforts while a familiar face in Danny Welbeck hopes to be a thorn in the Gunners' side. Tied league top scorer Welbeck, has scored four goals in his last six starts against Arsenal across all competitions, with each of his last three strikes against the Gunners coming at the Emirates for different teams (Manchester United, Watford and Brighton).
