Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Brentford 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:

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford
15:15SAVED!!! Gomez drops deep to pick out Minteh with a wide cross-field pass, and the Gambian winger surges into the Bees' box. He cuts inside Ajer onto his left foot, but then back-heels for the arriving Wieffer to shoot first-time, and the right-back's powerful strike is parried behind by Kelleher for a corner!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford
15:11Brighton have forced 101 high turnovers in the Premier League this season, 20 of which have resulted in a shot. These are both league-high tallies in the competition so far in 2025-26.

15:09Ouattara capitalises on a loose touch from Kadioglu and Yarmoliuk looks to burst into the Brighton box as a result, but Berbruggen darts off his line to smother the loose ball before he can get there.

15:08Henderson floats an early Brentford free-kick into the box and Collins meets it at the far post with a header back across the face of goal. Verbruggen jumps off his line to punch the ball cleary, but it falls for Yarmoliuk and the midfielder skews an awkward volley well wide from the edge of the box.

15:04A pair of clever passes from Ayari and Baleba free up room for Rutter to potentially open Brentford up on the right-hand side, but he's crowded out by Van de Berg and Schade as the latter gets back in support to turn possession over.

15:03Ouattara tees up Damsgaard to kick the game off for Brentford, and we're up and running on the south coast!

15:01Despite Brentford’s strong run of form coming into this match, it’s Brighton who are the favourites in our live probability tracker as the two sides head out onto the Amex pitch. The Seagulls have a 48.8% chance of victory ahead of kick-off in East Sussex, and with Brentford given a 25.5% win probability rating by contrast, it remains to be seen if home advantage will pay dividends for Brighton.

14:52Brentford also make a solitary change to their starting XI after beating Newcastle 3-1 last time out, with Kristoffer Ajer operating as a makeshift left-back in place of Aaron Hickey. Hickey drops to the bench after helping Scotland qualify for their first World Cup since 1998, but Fabio Carvalho is absent altogether, having suffered a season-ending ACL injury in training last week.

14:47Fabian Hurzeler has dropped Brighton captain Lewis Dunk to the bench following their 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, with Olivier Bogcagli brought into central defence in the only change to the Seagulls’ starting side; a side which is still without injured talisman Kaoru Mitoma out wide.

14:36Brentford’s 16-point haul and twelfth-placed position has come in contrast to Brighton’s four victories, four draws and three defeats, with the Bees only drawing once so far this season and having five wins and losses apiece. Keith Andrews’ side have won four of their last six, toppling Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle along the way, though their only victory on the road this season came at lowly West Ham.
