Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Tottenham Hotspur 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.

Brighton come forward in numbers and Veltman finds Trossard in space on the edge of the box. It's a good chance to shoot, but Trossard's first touch is awful, taking the ball away from him and causing him to foul Kulusevski in pursuit!

Mac Allister has a pop from 25 yards, but it's quickly blocked and falls the way of spurs, who look to counter once again.

SAVED!!!! Kane finds Reguilon searing down the left wing with an absolute peach of a ball. Reguilon latches onto it and looks to beat Sanchez, but he's denied by the legs of the Brighton keeper from close range!

Brighton engineer a good attacking opportunity on the edge of Spurs' box, and the ball comes wide to Cucurella. He's at a tight angle, but could shoot, however he looks to cross back into the danger area and it's cleared.

A loose Davies pass almost gives Trossard an opportunity to race clear, but Dier is there to stick out a foot and re-gain possession for the visitors.
