Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Crystal Palace 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 & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
CHANCE!!! Palace are almost gifted a third in comical fashion!! Estupinan is pressed hard by Sarr and plays a blind back-pass towards his own goal, but Verbruggen had come short to receive the ball and has to sprint back to prevent a disastrous own-goal!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
SAVED!!! Another fantastic stop from Henderson!! Enciso plays a one-two before cutting away from Chalobah's challenge and sending a curling strike goalwards. It's bound for the bottom corner from 20 yards, but Henderson gets across to palm it around the post!

SAVED!!! Brighton swing a free-kick in from the right and Dunk meets Ayari's delivery with a bullet header, which looks destined to find the net before being parried behind by Henderson!

BLOCKED!! Pedro now turns provider for Mitoma as he pulls the ball back from the left, but the Japanese international's shot on the slide is put wide of the far post by Lacroix sticking a leg out!

BLOCKED!! Now playing as a left wing-back, Mitoma drives around the outside of Munoz and cuts back from the byline. It comes to Ayari, who tees up Pedro, but his first-time strike is blocked by Chalobah!

Brighton have only come back to win one Premier League game when 2+ goals down at half-time – losing 26 of 28 such matches – though that was their most recent one, beating Spurs 3-2 in October.

Brighton build well in the final third through Baleba and Enciso before feeing Minteh to the right, and his cutback from the byline is blocked behind for an early second-half corner.
