Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The American Express Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 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:

SAVE! It's better from Brighton as Mac Allister holds it up before sweeping the ball out to Estupinan. He trips over it on the edge of the box, but manages to knock it out to Mitoma, who curls his shot straight at Whitworth.

SAVE! Zaha squares it to Edouard on the edge of the box, and he has three defenders in front of him, but he manages to find the space to curl it towards goal. Steele gets down to hold it at the far post.

Brighton are winless in their last seven Premier League meetings with Palace (D5 L2), with the last three all finishing 1-1. It's their longest-ever winless run against the Eagles in the competition.

BIG SAVE! Brighton are caught napping as it's threaded through the middle to Olise, who darts forward to get one-on-one with Steele. He takes a touch before firing towards the far post, but Steele spreads himself to keep him out.

CLOSE! Palace win a series of corners, and the latest one is played short to Clyne on the right. He curls a brilliant cross into the middle and Edouard rises highest to meet it, but he thumps his header wide of the far post.
