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.

Arsenal vs Fulham

Arsenal seemed to be effected by their early lapse and were perhaps guilty of trying too hard in the final third to craft out the perfect chance. The Gunners have had plenty of possession, but have lacked a clinical edge. Fulham have looked dangerous on the break and are a threat to get a second that would take the contest away from the hosts.

Fulham are 45 minutes away from securing their first win on the road against Arsenal after taking a 1-0 lead into the break in their Premier League clash. Andreas Pereira fired the Cottagers ahead after 57 seconds capitalising on a mistake from Bukayo Saka. The Gunners pressed for an equaliser through Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard, but the visitors held firm at the back to frustrate the Gunners.
