Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers 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:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Wolves have started by playing it around their defence very deep into their own half. It’s risky, but so far there hasn’t been any danger.

Gomes seems okay now, and he has returned to the pitch to the relief of Vitor Pereira.

Gomes is already down after a minute or so, due to an untidy tackle by Estupinan. He has stayed down, and he looks to be struggling a bit.

The teams are out on the pitch, and we’re nearly ready for kick-off here in the Midlands!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Ait-Nouri has been directly involved in more goals than any other defender in the Premier League this season, and he will be looking to add more here against the side he scored late against last time they met. Guedes replaces Bellegarde in the supporting duo in attack, and Semedo captains the home side. For Brighton, they are without their top goalscorer, Joao Pedro, in this game, so Welbeck starts up front. He has nine goals this season, just one behind Pedro, so he is the ‘next best thing’ to replace the Brazilian. Webster replaces club captain Lewis Dunk, so it’s Welbeck who picks up the responsibility of the armband for this game.
