Follow live coverage as Leicester City 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:

Minteh eyes a second, yet opens his body far too much from the right and his attempt to hit the top-left corner flies up and behind.

With that Minteh goal, Brighton have scored five goals via substitutes in the Premier League this season, only Fulham (with six) have scored more. For Leicester, they have conceded four goals to opposition substitutes in the league this term. Only Fulham (five) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (five) have conceded more.

Mavididi gets away from a desperately sliding Lamptey, yet his delivery from the left byline for Vardy is poor. Far too high. Are Leicester running out of ideas?

Welbeck and Minteh link up nicely on the right wing. The latter's cross, however, goes straight to Hermansen.
