Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth 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:

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Another Bournemouth move fizzles out this time as Cook hits an attempted long ball straight to Baleba. Meanwhile, Evanilson wins a free-kick for Bournemouth in the middle part of the pitch and they get the opportunity to launch another attack.

After the early dominance from Brighton, Bournemouth have looked like the side in much more control over the last 15 minutes or so. Another ball from the left flank this time is swung in but Brighton do well to clear their lines.

Pedro goes down in the middle part of the pitch after what seemed like a push from Cook. He stays down for a bit and the referee halts play. Pedro landed awkwardly after tripping. Thankfully for Brighton, their main man is up and running soon after.

BIG CHANCE! Evanilson fails to convert as Verbruggen comes to Brighton's rescue. Evanilson breaks in behind the defence and finds his way into the box. He takes the shot off a tight angle and Verbruggen saves the shot at the near post and parries it away.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Corner for Bournemouth, their first one of the game! The Cherries work a corner routine and the ball falls to Kluivert on the edge of the box, but his attempted volley towards goal is easily collected by the Brighton keeper. He did not get the timing he was looking for on that shot.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Semenyo concedes a free-kick with a foul on Veltman in his own box down the touchline and Brighton have won the ball back after a good spell of possession for the hosts. After a quick start, the sting has just gone out of the game over the last five minutes or so.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Bournemouth have enjoyed good possession in the last few minutes but they haven't looked very threatening with the ball. It definitely doesn't look easy with the wind blowing in the opposite direction and you can see that the Cherries are struggling with it.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Bournemouth earn a free-kick after Veltman fouls Semenyo. The resulting set-piece is delivered by Tavernier Semenyo meets it but he is pulled back quickly for offside. Soon after, the duo combine again as Tavernier delivers one into the middle for Semenyo from the right flank. However, Semenyo fails to steer the header towards goal.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Pedro has now been directly involved in seven goals in his last nine Premier League appearances (5 goals, 2 assists) and the man-in-form has stepped up again. Brighton's front line is looking very good so far.

AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Senesi plays a diagonal pass for Tavernier to the right, but the latter can't get to it in time and the ball goes out for a goal kick. Bournemouth rocked early here and Brighton have managed to silence the crowd. The Seagulls also have the more favourable conditions in the first half, attacking with the very strong wind today.
