Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Brentford 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:

OFF THE POST! From a clearance by Flekken, Brighton turn the ball over and quickly work it to Enciso on the edge of the area. He curls his first-time shot against the right-hand post, and it bounces away to safety! So close to scoring on his first Premier League start since May!

The last two editions of this fixture in Brighton have produced nine goals, so precedent suggests we could be in for an entertaining contest. Amid thick fog on England's south coast, though, it's been a somewhat subdued start.

Making just one change to his starting lineup, Frank is forced to switch things around at right-back: Roerslev replaces the injured Kristoffer Ajer.

Brighton make a couple of changes from last week's draw with West Ham, as Enciso is handed his first league start of the season and O'Riley comes into the midfield. Due to injury, Mats Wieffer drops out of the squad altogether, joining Danny Welbeck, Ferdi Kadioglu, Evan Ferguson and several others on the sidelines. March is back on the bench after a long absence.
