Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Crystal Palace 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:

SAVED!!! Palace launch another fast break as Nketiah drives forward before finding Sarr to his right, and he bursts into the box before drawing a comfortable near-post save from Verbruggen with a shot on the angle!

BALL IN THE NET!!! Estupinan allows a high ball over the top to bounce, but goes down under pressure from Sarr, who beats Verbruggen to tee up Munoz and he taps into the empty net! Palace wheel away to celebrate, but the contact from Sarr on Estupinan is viewed to be a foul and so the scoreline remains 2-0!
