Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur 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:

Since Mitoma has come on for the second half, Brighton have shown more urgency, especially on the left flank. The Japan international is currently being doubled up on by Porro and Johnson.

The half-time whistle blows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Tottenham lead Brighton 1-0. Brighton started on the front foot and were unfortunate not to lead through Wieffer, who saw his right-foot effort fly over Vicario's crossbar. Soon after, Tel was fouled inside the Brighton penalty area by Wieffer and Solanke dispatched the resulting penalty into the roof of the net. Brighton had an opportunity to equalise immediately but Hinshelwood saw his header parried away by Vicario. The Lilywhites could have doubled their advantage on the counter, but Tel saw his close-range effort well saved by Verbruggen. As it stands, Brighton will miss out on European football next season, as they are in ninth place in the league. This is due to Brentford leading Wolves 1-0 through a Mbeumo goal. The Opta predictor currently has the UEFA Europa League winners as favourites to take the three points from here with 54%.
