Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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:

Palace come into this game with only one loss in their last eight games (in competitive competitions), with their only loss being a 2-1 defeat to Everton here at Selhurst Park. In this run of form, they have beaten Aston Villa convincingly, and they have also progressed to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. That is a huge feat for a team that started the season without a win for eight games. Oliver Glasner has got the Eagles flying again, and he will want to add another win against his side’s rival here.
