Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Southampton 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:

Lallana turns well in between the lines, but he gives it away and Bournemouth can now break. Scott travels down the left and finds Cook, who fires a pass into the feet of Semenyo. He shifts it onto his right and strikes, but Taylor deflects it behind for a corner.

Downes picks out Brereton at the back post in acres of space with a clever pass. He looks to fire it across goal, but he can't quite find Sugawara. Kerkez gets back to put it behind for a corner. Dibling delivers, but it's a poor effort and it comes to nothing

Dibling looks to take on Kerkez on the right and he finds Aribo. It's shifted out wide before being delivered into the penalty area, but Kepa comes off his line to punch away. The Saints are pushing to get back into this game.

Dibling is dispossessed and Cook has a chance to travel through the middle for Bournemouth. He slots a throughball in behind for Evanilson to run onto. He latches onto it and looks to catch Ramsdale out with a quick strike, but it's straight into the arms of the Southampton goalkeeper.

Kluivert finds himself in behind the Southampton defence, and he floats a delivery to the back post. Tavernier controls and lays it off to Semenyo who strikes, but it's deflected behind for a corner to the Cherries.

Semenyo gets the ball on the right-hand side once again, and he drifts onto his left foot. He unleashes a powerful effort from outside of the box, but it's deflected off the side of the pitch for a throw-in. Bournemouth have struggled to maintain their first-half performance since the break.
