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:

Mitoma! Brighton come forward smartly as Rutter pops the ball back to Ferguson in the box. He dummies his marker and plays Mitoma in on the left. However, the Japanese trickster opens his body a little too much and fires wide and high of the top-right corner.

Could today be the day? Brighton have lost five of their last six Premier League away games played on a Sunday, as many as in their previous 16 such games (W7 D4). The only exception in this current run was a 5-0 win at Sheffield United in February.

This time, Ayari takes the free-kick and crosses to the left post. Although the Foxes look vulnerable back there, they just about deal with the pressure.

Again, Ayew concedes a foul. He brings down Lamptey and now it's a free-kick in pretty much the same place, with the same Leicester culprit at fault!

The taker's selection currently sees Ayari, Estupinan and Rutter stand over it. It's the Ecuadorian to take, but Hermansen is across to the right of his goal quickly to make a simple enough claim.
