Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
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:

Despite the loss to City, there is only one change to the line-up with Andre moving to the bench and Doyle coming in. It seems that O’Neil has trust in his team and believes that this side is capable of getting their first league win of the season.

There were worries that Welbeck wasn’t going to make this game after injuring himself against Newcastle, but he has passed the fitness test and starts up top with Rutter, who is quickly becoming a fan favourite on the south coast. Mitoma, Paul van Hecke and Estupinan come into the line-up. It is a special day for Lewis Dunk who has made his 250th Premier League appearance, the craziest thing about this is that all of them have been starts. Lewis Dunk is the opposite of a super sub.
