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

Spurs are still attempting to get themselves out of trouble with long balls over the top, but Brighton are equal to it. Dier looks for Son this time, but it's overhit and the visitors quickly win it back.

It's a great ball over the top from Romero this time, and Son cushions a header down to Kane. He lets it bounce, just giving Cucurella time to get back and take it off his toe.

Brighton's high press is causing all sorts of problems for Spurs and they just can't get out of their own half. Veltman gets too tight to Son, giving away a free-kick, and the hosts have some breathing space.

The frustration of the Spurs fans is starting to show here as the defenders can't get off the edge of their own box with the ball. Bentancur plays a hopeful throughball into the box, but none of his team-mates are anywhere near it.

Brighton are starting to find their rhythm now and they're knocking it around nicely. Caicedo wins a free-kick which Trossard takes long to try and pick out Mwepu's run, but Emerson gets there first to shield it out of play.

It's a wonderful curling corner from Trossard and Veltman glances it on at the near post. Mac Allister makes a late, unmarked run to the far side, and Romero sticks out a leg just in time to deflect it out of the forward's path.

The yellow card is out again here, this time for Kulusevski. Cucurella was tight to his back, and in his frustration, he throws an arm back to try and shake the Spaniard, catching him in the face.

Mwepu steps on Reguilon's foot, effectively stopping his run, and he's shown the first yellow card of the game.

Risky moment at the back for Spurs as Davies plays it back to Lloris. He doesn't spot Mac Allister darting through the middle towards the keeper, but Lloris manages to sweep it on just in time.
