Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

Brighton will hope to belatedly convert their prowess on the road into better fortunes at home when they take on Manchester United next week, while Wolves must play Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in three of their final four fixtures - starting with the former at Stamford Bridge next Saturday.

In the end, a lacklustre showing developed into a humbling home defeat for Wolves, who were outplayed and out-thought by Brighton for most of the match, in which the hosts barely threatened their visitors' goal. The Seagulls could even afford to miss a first-half penalty as they cruised to another away win - a fourth from their last five attempts. That merited three points sees them close within five of their beaten opponents and into the Premier League's top half.

OFF THE POST! Almost, but not quite! Wolves strike the bottom of the post through Neto's low drive from the left side of the area. Sanchez was stranded, but the ball bounces away to safety, and Wolves' drought goes on.

Finally, Wolves manage a shot on target, as Boly diverts a weak header straight into Sa's hands following a deflected Neto effort.

Unless they can make an unlikely comeback in the final minutes, Wolves are heading for a third successive defeat without scoring.

Involved in the build-up, Cucurella has the final touch on a quick Brighton move; dragging his low shot wide of the right post. He has stood out today for his endeavour and enthusiasm, but his shooting did not match there.

Mac Allister limps back into the action, with Saiss certainly luck to avoid censure for his foul on the Argentinian player.
