Follow live coverage as Southampton 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:

Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Southampton's misery continues as a dominant derby display from Brighton condemns Juric's rock bottom side to an eighth successive Premier League defeat. Despite Ramsdale's best efforts, Southampton were unable to stem the tide of wave after wave of Brighton attacks, before Pedro's first-half opener. A one-goal deficit meant Southampton still had a route back into the game after the restart but defensive errors gifted goals to Rutter and Mitoma to put the game beyond them. Hinshelwood's late finish rubbed salt into the Southampton wounds, but the hosts can have few complaints, as relegation moves a step closer for them. Back-to-back Brighton wins moves Hurzeler's side up to 8th in the Premier League tabl,e with an xG of 4.01 matched by four goals in the Southampton net, as the home side ended with 0.13.
