Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Southampton 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:

Welbeck heads his shot wide of the goal after a great cross from Estupinan. He rose highest in the box, but he met the ball at an odd angle, and couldn’t twist quickly enough to guide it on target.

Southampton have begun to take a more direct approach to Brighton’s counter-attacks by fouling them at any given opportunity. It has been scrappy on that front since kick-off, but Southampton have been putting in some strong tackles.
