Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

SAVE! Spurs try to break on the counter, but March stops them and squares it into Caicedo on the edge of the D. He takes a touch before having a shot and Lloris punches it away.

There's a nervy moment at the back for Brighton as Sanchez's pass is hit straight against Kane. He wasn't expecting it though and Brighton get away with it as it bounces off him and the keeper clears his lines on the second attempt.

Kane spins away from Caicedo and spreads it out to Bentancur on the right. His cross is blocked, but it bobbles out to Bissouma on the edge of the box. He has a go from range, but his low shot rolls wide of the far post.

GOOD SAVE! Son cuts inside from the left and the space opens up for him, but he squares it to Bentancur instead. He takes the shot from just outside the box and Sanchez stretches to push it wide.

17': Our best opening so far as Pascal slides a pass down the channel and into the path of Welbz, but he fires his shot across goal and inches wide. 😲

WIDE! It's another good move from Brighton, starting with Dunk at the back and it's slid into Welbeck by March. He gets a yard on Davies and fizzes a low shot across goal, but it rolls just wide of the far post.

Brighton have won two of their last three Premier League matches against Spurs (L1), one more than in their first seven games against them in the competition combined (W1 D1 L5).

It's a sloppy touch from Mac Allister that gifts the ball to Son and he takes it around Veltman before having a shot from range. It's a wild effort though and it sails high over the bar.

17:44 , admin
GREAT CHANCE! Son can only nudge it to Hojbjerg and he helps it onto Sessegnon, who lifts a great cross into the far post from the left. It's too high for Kane, but Doherty runs onto it behind him, blazing his first-time shot into the stands.

Brighton are starting to up the pressure on Spurs and it's knocked out to March on the right. He drills a dangerous low cross into the box, but Trossard misses it and Dier clears it behind him.

It's a brilliant throughball from Bentancur to pick out Doherty's run down the right. He has Sessegnon completely unmarked to his left but takes one touch too many and it rolls harmlessly out of play.

Spurs are dominating possession early on here, but they're struggling to get in behind Brighton. They're moving it upfield quickly but can't find a way into the final third.

17:36 , admin
GOOD SAVE! Spurs win a free-kick just outside the box to the left of the D, and Son steps up to take it. He lifts his shot over the wall and it's dipping towards the near corner, but Sanchez pushes it away.

17:34 , admin
It's well worked out from the back by Spurs, with Doherty flicking on Lloris' clearance to Kane. He tries to feed in Son, who is peeling off the back of Webster, but the defender slides in to block it.

After a run of four consecutive home league defeats in February/March, Brighton are unbeaten in their last seven at the Amex Stadium (W4 D3). They're looking to win three home league games on the bounce for the first time since November 2019, a run which included a 3-0 win over Spurs.

Antonio Conte makes four changes from the draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League in midweek, and there's a change in shape. Davies, Doherty, Sessegnon and Bissouma are all brought in, with the former Brighton man making up the midfield three. Lenglet, Perisic and Richarlison drop to the bench, while Emerson Royal is suspended after his red card against Arsenal.

Unsurprisingly, De Zerbi names an unchanged line-up after their brilliant performance against Liverpool last Saturday. Trossard, who scored a hat-trick in that game, plays alongside Gross in support of Welbeck again.

Spurs' unbeaten start to the season came to an end last weekend when they were beaten 3-1 by rivals Arsenal in the North London derby. They've faltered a little in recent weeks, winning just one of their last four games in all competitions (D1 L2). Roberto De Zerbi is managing his first home game in charge of Brighton after starting his time here with a pulsating 3-3 draw away at Liverpool last time out. The Seagulls have lost just once in all competitions so far this season (W5 D2), with that loss to Fulham coming at the end of August.
