Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The American Express Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Crystal Palace 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:
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
Dunk takes a free-kick quickly on the halfway line, and Palace aren't expecting it. Mac Allister attempts to take it round Schlupp and ends up getting fouled, getting a set-piece in a much better position.

Palace are trying to patiently work it out from the back, and they enjoy a good spell of possession as they peg Brighton back. They can't get it into the box though and they end up having to start again.

Palace just can't get out of their own half at the minute as Mitoma bursts down the left again before whipping a dangerous cross into the box. Mac Allister flicks it on at the near post, but can't direct it on target.

GREAT SAVE! Gross swings a corner into the box, and Mac Allister rises highest at the near post to help it on. It came at Whitworth quickly, but he reacts by getting a strong hand to it.

CLOSE! Clyne and Olise link up well down the right before it's squared infield to Schlupp on the edge of the D. He squeezes a low shot through the crowd that has Steele scrambling, but it rolls just wide.
