Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

WIDE! It's another good move from Brighton, starting with Dunk at the back and it's slid into Welbeck by March. He gets a yard on Davies and fizzes a low shot across goal, but it rolls just wide of the far post.

Attempt missed. Danny Welbeck (Brighton and Hove Albion) right footed shot from the right side of the box is close, but misses to the left. Assisted by Pascal Groß.

It's a sloppy touch from Mac Allister that gifts the ball to Son and he takes it around Veltman before having a shot from range. It's a wild effort though and it sails high over the bar.

Attempt missed. Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur) left footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the left. Assisted by Harry Kane.

GREAT CHANCE! Son can only nudge it to Hojbjerg and he helps it onto Sessegnon, who lifts a great cross into the far post from the left. It's too high for Kane, but Doherty runs onto it behind him, blazing his first-time shot into the stands.
