Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Norwich City 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:

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Norwich City

CHANCE! Norwich now with an opportunity against the run of play! Pukki gets in behind the Brighton defence and gets away from Dunk, before crossing to Rashica and he only has the keeper to beat, but he sends his effort high over the crossbar!

CHANCE! Maupay with another opportunity! Trossard does brilliantly down the right and skips into the box, then drills a pass into the feet of Maupay and he tries to find the back of the net from the six-yard box. However, it flies just wide of the bottom left post.

Decent chance! March cuts inside from the left and powers a shot towards goal, but it's too close to Krul, who makes a comfortable save.

Maupay tries to whip a cross into the box from the left, but it ends up flying towards the goal instead and Krul has to be alert to punch it clear.

JUST WIDE! Dunk gets in front of Pukki as a corner is whipped into the box from the right and the Brighton skipper powers a header down towards the bottom left corner of the net. However, it flies inches wide of the post.

Into the wall! Mac Allister steps up to take a free-kick around 25 yards out, but he doesn't get enough height on it and the ball flies into the Norwich wall.

Free-kick to Brighton in a dangerous position after Welbeck is fouled by Normann around 25 yards out. It looks like Mac Allister is going to be the man to step up and take it.

We're into the final 20 minutes of the game now and it remains goalless here, can either side nick a late winner? Brighton certainly look the more likely to score.

Much better from Norwich! Rowe does well down the right and gets into the Brighton penalty area, twisting away from two defenders and drilling a low cross into the box, but it's turned away and the rebound falls to Gilmour, who sees his strike blocked.

The corner count is racking up for Brighton, they are throwing everything at Norwich, but the visitors defence are holding firm so far.
