Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Brighton & Hove Albion 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:

Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Gelhardt nods the ball down and Cucurella is just scrambling back to his feet and Rodrigo gets there. He takes the ball to the face from close range, but he's okay after treatment.

GREAT SAVE! Raphinha pulls the corner back to Klich on the edge of the box this time, and he runs onto it, hitting the shot first time. It's a sweet strike that's creeping in at the near post until Sanchez gets a strong hand to it.

Leeds are just starting to up the pressure again here as Raphinha drives into the box. His pullback from the byline is put out for a corner by Bissouma, but the hosts can't make anything of it.

Phillips takes a Leeds free-kick short to Klich, who lifts it into the far post. Raphinha nods it down, and Cucurella can't get it clear. Harrison hits a shot against the defender before it comes back to Phillips again, but his low shot is drilled just wide.
