Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Tottenham Hotspur 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 Tottenham Hotspur
Behind by two with a substitution fewer thanks to Webster’s enforced change after just nine minutes, Hurzeler will need to act fast if he wishes to pull a result from the game - with Brighton on the verge of five-straight Premier League fixtures without a win. Estupinan’s aggression and delivery down the left could be an asset with Kadioglu either coming off or moving to right-back, and the attacking pair of Enciso and Ferguson could add a bit of creativity and power as the Seagulls look to unlock the pair of Van de Ven and Romero. Ever the attacking side - Tottenham will no doubt be looking to add to their goals record - with only Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City finding the back of the net more often this campaign, though Postecoglou will also be emphasising the importance of a third clean sheet in six Premier League games, with the result already heavily favouring the visitors.
