Follow live coverage as Everton face Brighton & Hove Albion 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 have produced just 0.07 expected goals since the break, but they've shown a clinical edge that Everton haven't. It's been a spirited display from the Toffees, but Brighton's quality has shone through so far. It looks as though Dyche is preparing a change.

Veltman has gone down in the Brighton penalty area after a clash of heads with Doucoure. The medical team are on the pitch and he's receiving treatment, so there will be a delay. It looks as though Hurzeler could be considering making a change.
