Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

That defeat ends Spurs' four-game winning run, but they stay in fourth, still three points ahead of Arsenal, who kick off shortly. Conte will be hoping to put this result behind them quickly and they have Brentford next up. It's back-to-back wins for Brighton, who move up to 10th. They travel to Manchester City on Wednesday.

Trossard snatches a late 1-0 win for Brighton over Tottenham. The visitors were the better side throughout, though Son had a couple of good chances in the second half which were blocked. Brighton still looked the bigger threat, and in the 90th minute, Spurs failed to clear their lines and Trossard took advantage by curling a low shot past Lloris. Bergwijn volleyed an effort wide moments later at the other end, but Spurs didn't manage a single shot on target in the game.

GREAT CHANCE! Spurs go long again and this time, Kane manages to nod it down for Bergwijn. He has so much space in the middle of the box, but he rushes it. It's not a clean strike and his volley bounces wide.

CHANCE! Kane's dispossessed and Brighton break quickly on the counter, with Trossard driving forward down the left. He cuts inside before having a go from range, but he drags it wide of the near post.

Gross was making a run down the right tight to the byline when Lucas got across to stop him. He's stayed down holding his knee, and Potter looks slightly worried as Brighton are out of changes, but he doesn't need any treatment.

March is straight in on the action as he leaves Reguilon on the floor when he dribbles past him and curls a cross into the six-yard box. Mac Allister is waiting and Romero heads it out just ahead of him.
