Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Wolverhampton Wanderers 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 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Baleba hasn't been afraid to shoot this game. The ball falls to him on the edge of the box and he drills one goalwards, but the effort has little direction and Sa kneels down to collect.

Cunha is really trying his best out here, and right now that is just not enough. He surges into the box and fires a shot that is parried by Verbruggen but he is Wolves' liveliest player and should be fed on every occasion right now. Looking like a threat.

After some early moments after the break just watching Wolves hold onto the ball a bit more, it seems like Brighton are regrowing in confidence.

What a nightmare that would have been for Wolves. A sloppy pass is pounced on by Welbeck and he instantly charges towards a retreating Beuno. The Wolves man does well to save his teammate's blush as he just closes down the opportunity to have a shot.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Brighton take a throw-in and O'Neil goes directly pointing towards the fourth official. He cutting a frustrated figure on the touchline, but his team are performing far better in this half.

That's really intelligent play from Gomes. He spins Rutter and seems like he is going to get away from him, but he can't wrestle the Dutchman off him and the Brighton man picks up a yellow card.

Wolves have a great chance from a corner. Strand Larsen finds space to meet the set-piece but headers straight at Verbruggen.

Rutter has shown how big of a talent he is in this game. Last season at Leeds, there were fleeting moments, but here in Brighton, he is one of the biggest threats. He is a powerful runner and with Ait-Nouri trying to drag him down, he still couldn't.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Lemina has been rash on the ball and off the ball today, often such a reliable player for O'Neil but just not today. It looks like more control is the aim with Sarabia coming on.
