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:

Second Half begins Brighton and Hove Albion 0, Tottenham Hotspur 1.

De Zerbi will be pleased with how his side reacted to going behind but will be hoping they can be more clinical after the break as they try to come from behind again. Spurs struggled to create anything after taking the lead, with Kane's goal the last shot they had. Conte will be urging them to start the second half in the same way they did the first.

Kane's header gives Spurs a 1-0 lead over Brighton at half-time. The visitors started brightly, with Sanchez making a couple of good saves to deny Son and Bentancur before Kane glanced a header past the keeper to break the deadlock. The chances dried up for Spurs after that though, with Brighton piling the pressure on, and Lloris was also called into action to keep out Caideco and Welbeck.

GOOD SAVE! Bentancur has his pocket picked on the edge of his own box and Caicedo slides it through to Welbeck. He gets a lot of power behind his shot and Lloris gets down quickly to deny him at the near post.
