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:

Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion

It's goalless at the break between Spurs and Brighton. Apart from an early long-range shot from Kane, which was hit well wide, Spurs have struggled to create anything in this game. Brighton looked the more likely to score, with Mwepu having the best chance when his half-volley was blocked by Davies. He also had the only shot on target in the game just before the half-time whistle, but it was straight at Lloris.

Kulusevski goes down, but the referee sees nothing wrong with it and allows Brighton to carry on. Bissouma squares it to Mwepu, who takes on the drive from a long way out, but it's straight at Lloris.

Hojbjerg intercepts Lamptey's pass and spins away from danger on the edge of the box. He turns straight into Mwepu, who trips him. Spurs are asking for a card again, but it's only a free-kick.

Brighton are enjoying a good spell of possession here, but Spurs have dropped deep again. The visitors are switching it from side to side, but can't find a way through just yet.

Davies came in behind Mwepu, who had his boot high to bring the ball down and he caught the defender. Spurs clearly aren't happy with the challenge, and Hojbjerg is standing off against Mwepu. The referee separates the players, calming things down.
