Follow live coverage as Chelsea 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 Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:

Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Chaos! Brighton leave Stamford Bridge with a victory, after a mesmerising second-half comeback gave the Seagulls an eye-catching 3-1 win over Chelsea! The match completely changed when Chalobah received a red card in the early stages of the second half. The Blues were in the lead, thanks to Fernandez’s 24th-minute header, but Brighton devastatingly exploited their numerical advantage as Welbeck equalised. The visitors netted two more goals, through substitute De Cuyper and another typically calm Welbeck finish. An undoubtedly tricky period for Chelsea has dramatically worsened, as they’re now winless in three Premier League games. Meanwhile, Brighton earn their second victory of the top-flight season. Maresca’s side posted more possession (58.8%), while Hurzeler’s men pipped them on expected goals (xG) with 2.01 to 1.70. This result moves the visitors up to tenth, while Chelsea drop to seventh. Next week, Chelsea will welcome Benfica to West London in the Champions League and host Liverpool in a mouthwatering top-flight clash. The Seagulls face a less daunting task, travelling to Molineux to play Wolves in the Premier League next weekend. We hope you’ve enjoyed this live text commentary! Thank you!
