Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Southampton 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:
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton
Fabian Hurzeler’s team are performing brilliantly in this Premier League campaign; he will be pleased with the fact that his side are currently sitting in a European spot, with the potential to go even higher. They have won six of their 12 games so far, with four draws under their belts as well. A win last time out against Bournemouth will have only added to the feel-good factor on the South coast, and they will want to add to their tally here. The home team will see this game as a very winnable fixture, and with a win, they could temporarily move into second place in the Premier League.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton
The last time these sides faced each other in the Premier League, the points went to Brighton in a 3-1 win back in 2023. In the same season, Brighton also won the reverse fixture 3-1, but historical records show that Southampton are on top in the head-to-head. Since that season, Southampton have been relegated and promoted in back-to-back campaigns, whereas Brighton have featured in a European competition. Brighton have remained a strong top-half side since then, and they have also started this season strongly, unlike their opponents in this game.
