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

Despite Ipswich having home advantage and being in far better form coming into this game, their lowly position in the table compared to the 11th placed visitors means it’s Brighton who are being backed to win this one by our live probability tracker. The Seagulls sit on a 45.9% chance of victory, and with the hosts on just 28.6% themselves, Ipswich will be keen to make it two wins from two at Portman Road as they head out onto the pitch!
