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:
AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Bournemouth return to Premier League action with a third successive victory as Andoni Iraola's charges secured derby bragging rights via a 2-1 home win over Brighton. In a first half of few chances, Alex Scott rocketed home his first Premier League goal since December 2023, with the visitors setback by two early injuries. The Seagulls did rally after the restart, as Kaoru Mitoma bravely nodded home his first goal of the campaign, but the final twist went in Bournemouth's favour as Antoine Semenyo stroked home from the penalty spot. A full-time xG of just 1.48, and one big chance created, shows how Bournemouth made the best of their opportunities with Brighton ending on 0.62 on a frustrating afternoon for Fabian Hurzeler.
