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:

Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Palace fans’ dedication to booing Dunk at every opportunity is quite something. You could be looking the other way and you’d know when the Brighton captain was on the ball.

Palace also make a change as they look to hold onto their lead. Mitchell has been taken off from left-back, and he is replaced by Chilwell, their man on loan from Chelsea.

Mitoma also makes way after a fairly quiet game by his standards, and he is replaced by Adingra out on the wing.

Here we go then. O’Riley comes off the pitch to be replaced by Pedro, who would’ve been disappointed not to have started the game. That’s an attacking change for Brighton.

GOOOOOOALLLL! Palace go ahead again! Munoz has FIRED the home side ahead from the right side of the box, and before Verbruggen could react, the ball was nestled in the corner of his goal. There was a slight deflection off Estupinan’s back, but Munoz will be awarded it! 2-1!

The incident in question was right in front of the referee, yet it appears he made the incorrect decision to award a free-kick in Palace’s favour. How strange! Both players are back up again, and the game has continued.
