Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Brighton and Wolves keep their Premier League unbeaten runs going, though both sides will be frustrated after a goalless draw at Amex Stadium. De Zerbi’s men are undefeated in their last four league games, while O’Neil’s side see their three-game top-flight winning streak come to an end but make it six matches across all competitions without defeat. The Seagulls dominated the majority of the first half, with Buonanotte seeing a header cleared off the line by Doyle and Van Hecke denied by Sa. Cunha was, perhaps, fortunate to escape a dismissal on the stroke of half-time after being cautioned and proceeding to protest furiously to referee Pawson, who kept his red card in his pocket despite the words exchanged. The visitors sat deep in the second period but went close through Cunha, who rounded Steele and should have done better from a tight angle, and Neto on his first Premier League start since October 2023. Kilman redirected against Sa’s left-hand post at the other end, though neither team could find a winner. Brighton leapfrog Manchester United into seventh before visiting Sheffield United in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday. Wolves sit 11th in the league table and next face a Black Country derby with West Bromwich Albion in the same FA Cup round on Sunday. That is all for now, until next time. Goodbye!

FULL-TIME: BRIGHTON 0-0 WOLVES
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Webster's cross is met by a wall of Wolves defenders as time ticks on. Gross then sees a shot blocked before Doyle wins a free-kick. That will surely be the end of the game at the Amex.

Toti is cautioned for a foul near the halfway line and delaying the restart as Brighton look to up the tempo in the final minute or so.

Just shoot! Joao Pedro has the chance to be the hero, dancing and spinning near the penalty spot after Lallana's cutback pass. The Brighton forward takes too long twisting and turning, though, as Wolves regroup to defend and block valiantly in front of Sa's goal.

Dawson defends well to clear as Ferguson lurks inside the Wolves area. There will be three additional minutes to end this game.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Lamptey works his way inside from the right flank but his left-footed cross is aimless and straight to Sa. The clock is ticking for De Zerbi, whose side were also held to a goalless draw in their last Premier League outing against West Ham.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Gross has created 55 chances this season, the joint-highest total in the Premier League (alongside Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes). Can the Brighton midfielder unpick the Wolves defence to create what would prove to be the winning goal in the dying stages?
