Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from The American Express Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 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:

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs' unbeaten start to the season came to an end last weekend when they were beaten 3-1 by rivals Arsenal in the North London derby. They've faltered a little in recent weeks, winning just one of their last four games in all competitions (D1 L2). Roberto De Zerbi is managing his first home game in charge of Brighton after starting his time here with a pulsating 3-3 draw away at Liverpool last time out. The Seagulls have lost just once in all competitions so far this season (W5 D2), with that loss to Fulham coming at the end of August.
