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.

Odegaard has the ball in the back of the net with a fine finish, but the goal is disallowed for offside against Havertz in the build-up. The German was well beyond the last man.

Fulham are denying Arsenal space through the middle and are forcing them wide into the channels. It's all on Martinelli and Saka for the hosts.

Arsenal are playing a very high line and it's handing Fulham a lot of space to hit on the break. Saliba has to make an important challenge to nip in ahead of Pereira.

SAVE! Saka wins the ball back high up the pitch and Arsenal swarm forward. Trossard sends Martinelli into the inside-left channel and he fires low and hard towards the bottom-left corner. Leno reads the danger and makes a solid stop.

SAKA MISSES A SITTER! The forward should level the scores as he latches onto Trossard's deep cross from the left flank at the back post, but he nods his effort into the ground and over the bar.

Rice has to be alert in the middle of the Arsenal box to direct Wilson's low ball from the right flank away from Pereira.

WIDE! Wilson collects Pereira's offload after a mistake by Saliba. He is afforded space and time, but his left-footed strike creeps just wide of the right post.

Pereira's corner pinballs around the Arsenal box and several white shirt fling boots at the loose ball, but no one can connect to force Ramsdale into action.
