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.

Aston Villa vs Burnley

CHANCE!!! Foster and Diego Carlos compete for a long ball down the right channel, with the Burnley striker eventually winning the race and stabbing the ball just wide of the target!!! He's appealing for a hand-ball against the Brazilian though, and replays suggest he's well within his rights to do so!

Aston Villa’s 15-game winning home run came to an end against Sheffield United last time out, but they’ve still won 16 games and earned 50 points at Villa Park in 2023. That's their most at home in a single calendar year in league competition since 1983 (18 wins, 57 points).

CHANCE!!! Konsa and Diaby combine down the right as the forward drills a low cross into the middle, but Trafford gets down well to hold the ball before anyone in claret and blue can turn it goalwards!

Aston Villa vs Burnley

Brownhill plays a smart pass wide for Vitinho to cross into the box, but Lenglet slides in to get there ahead of Amdouni and a Villa free-kick alleviates the threat.

Watkins goes down in the box after contact from Vitinho, but he too isn't convincing the referee and play-on is signalled by the official.

Aston Villa vs Burnley

SAVED!!! Brownhill's scooped pass is chested down by Amdouni in the box, with the striker letting fly and sending a dipping effort into the gloves of Martinez!
