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:

Sarr opens Brighton up once again down the right flank, getting to the byline and drilling a low cutback into the six-yard box which deflects back into Verbruggen's gloves.

Sarr has now scored and assisted in two Premier League away games this season – at Aston Villa and Brighton – only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has done it on more occasions (three) away from home this term.

SAVED!!! Sarr is released down the right and his cross in is palmed away from the goalmouth by Verbruggen, only for Palace to keep the chance alive, with Mitchell teeing up Munoz and his shot also being kept out by the Brighton goalkeeper!
