Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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:

Baleba strikes WIDE from the edge of the box, and again a roar comes from the home end of supporters. Time is ticking down slowly for the team in red and blue, but they are just about hanging on!

The Palace fans are cheering every action that their team does to get the ball away from the goal. Hughes just made a routine tackle, and they celebrated it like the goals!

Brighton make another change, as they gain another slot due to Palace’s concussion sub. Hinshelwood is hooked from the defence, and he is replaced by Wieffer.

RED CARD! Palace are down to NINE! It’s another yellow card for the Palace captain and he is OFF! It was another rough tackle from a Palace man, and they have to see this game out with a two-man deficit!

Palace have gained a concussion sub, after that fall by Lacroix. He is taken off, and the good news is that he walked off, unaided. Despite his protests and his desire to continue, Joel Ward replaces him to make his first appearance of the season.

Lacroix is still down, with Pedro back on his feet. The medical team are surrounding him, and checking for any signs of concussion. The good news is that his eyes are open and he appears to be responding.

Brighton are really piling the pressure on now. They can sense an opportunity to bring the game level again, but just as the game warmed up, Pedro and Lacroix collided, and there is concern for both of them.

Eze makes way after picking up two more assists, and it’s Devenny who comes on in his place. This will be a long 10 or so minutes for Palace.
