Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

The Leeds defenders just drop off Trossard and he's allowed to carry the ball a long way. He cuts inside before having a go from range, but his effort flies high and wide.

Another Leeds attack comes to an end after Phillips bundles Cucurella over and Trossard finds some space down the left. He curls a deep cross into the box, but it's too close to Meslier, who collects it.

Brighton are able to just ease the pressure with a free-kick, which March swings in and he wins a corner after Raphinha's poor clearance. That's taken deep and Dunk heads it back across, but it lands on the roof of the net.

BLOCK! Leeds break quickly again and Raphinha has acres of space to run into down the right. He clips a good cross into the near post and Rodrigo tries to catch out Sanchez with a clever flick, but Dunk slides in to take it wide.

Leeds win another free-kick down the left and Phillips swings it in. Welbeck's flick-on only goes as far as Harrison, who rushes the shot and he slices his volley high over the bar.

March does brilliantly to keep the ball in play along the byline, but his chipped cross is acrobatically cleared by Firpo. He only gets it as far as Trossard, who scoops it up towards Mac Allister, but he fouls Llorente in the process.

Gelhardt does well to keep hold of the ball as he weaves between three Brighton defenders before pulling it back to Raphinha. It's slightly behind him, but he gets the shot away, blazing it over the bar.

Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

After Burnley's loss to Tottenham earlier, a draw here would be enough for Leeds to move out of the drop zone, but they really need a win with only one game left after this one. They've had bright moments, but their finishing needs to improve. Potter will be pleased with his side's performance so far and will be hoping for more of the same.
