Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face AFC Bournemouth 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 & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth
SAVED!!! Van Hecke concedes a free-kick right on the edge of his own box which has Kluivert and Tavernier standing over it, but the latter plays the ball flat to Semenyo and his first-time strike is easily held by Verbruggen!

OVER!!! Another Cherries corner is swung in from the left by Kluivert, and Hill demands a penalty when his attempted shot from close range appears to brush the hand of Van Hecke. Play-on is called and the ball comes back out to Kluivert, who beats two before pulling it back for Tavernier to fire over the crossbar first-time!!

WIDE!!! What a chance to level it for the visitors!! Minteh twice fails in his attempts to clear a loose ball, and concedes a corner which Kluivert delivers. Hill's unmarked and gets up for it in the middle, but can only glance a header wide of the far post!!
