Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Brighton & Hove Albion 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 seem to be preparing for a triple change here. It would be timely as Leicester have looked rapid on their recent counters. Mavididi has been a great injection of pace and energy.

Well, Dunk is in the right place to stop a Kristensen ball from the left as Leicester break brilliantly. In the next phase, Vardy is able to latch onto a cross, yet his header is weak and off target. That was only his second shot of the game.
