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

Olise steps up to take the free-kick that he won and is looking to curl it towards the near top corner. Veltman rises high in the wall to deflect it over, and nothing comes of the resulting corner.

Olise cuts inside from the right and is brought down by a clumsy Mitoma challenge just outside the box. Palace have a free-kick in a good position here.

Veltman tries to skip past Doucoure, who sticks out a leg to block his run. He's shown the first yellow card of the game.

Palace do win the ball back high upfield and Zaha slides it through to Edouard. He knocks it through Veltman's leg with a clever backheel flick, but can't get around the defender in time to get a shot away.

Brighton are keeping the pressure on here, and Palace are struggling to get a touch of the ball. It's worked out to Gross on the left again, but his low cross is cut out by Schlupp.

Veltman ghosts his way into the box, but then just gets a little too much on the lay-off to Gross. It's deflected out to March on the right, but he floats his cross straight out of play.

BLOCKS! Welbeck plays it down the wing for March, who fizzes it into the middle to return the one-two. Guehi slides in with a brilliant tackle to take it off the forward before getting in front of Caicedo's follow-up too.

After a great start, Palace are struggling to get on the ball now that the hosts have found their rhythm. Mitoma tries to make something happen again, sliding it down the left for Mac Allister, but the pass is too heavy.
