The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Kelly is harshly penalised for felling Doherty as Wolves try to break down the right, and a free-kick is awarded to the visitors, who have yet to manage a shot on target - although Pedro Neto did strike the crossbar.

CLOSE! Sweeping forward at speed, Pedro Neto reaches the edge of Bournemouth's area and lays the ball off for Cunha on the left. Instead of shooting, though, the latter inexplicably pulls it back towards his colleague and allows Billing to block it behind for a corner. What a waste!

Though Doherty manages to block Cook's driving run towards the area, Solanke picks the ball up and nearly forced his way through into a shooting position. However, nothing ultimately comes of the situation.

Cunha sends a simple crossfield pass to Doherty on the right touchline straight out of play, and both men make it clear to each other that they think they weren't personally at fault. It's more frustration for Wolves.

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Traore is too eager to win the ball off Solanke in midfield, and the Wolves midfielder brings his opponent tumbling down to the turf. It's another free-kick, as a previously wide-open game starts to lose its momentum.

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Arriving just too late to steal the ball, opening goalscorer Solanke is penalised for a clear foul on Dawson just outside Wolves' area, and that will be a free-kick to the away side.

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Solanke has now been involved in five of Bournemouth’s six Premier League goals this season (four of his own and one assist), boasting the highest ratio of any player in the division this term.
