Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face West Ham United in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It’s not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 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:

PENALTY TO BRIGHTON! It’s a more lovely play from Brighton as they work it upfield and it’s lifted out to Mitoma on the left. He skips past Johnson after bringing it down before he’s bundled over by Bowen and the referee points straight to the spot.

Just moments after coming back on after his first bit of treatment, Lamptey is down again. He landed awkwardly on his ankle and it looks like he won’t be able to carry on.

Brighton played on despite Lamptey being down on the opposite flank, and when it’s run out of play, he can finally receive treatment. He’s quickly back to his feet to carry on though.
