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

Amdouni darts down the left and crosses towards Odobert from the byline, but the winger can't dispatch the chance and his glancing header is well off-target.

Aston Villa vs Burnley

That's O'Shea's third assist of the season - the joint-most of any Burnley player despite being a centre-back!

CHANCE!!! Konsa threads a delightful throughball in behind the defence which both Diaby and Watkins are after, but so is Trafford and the Burnley 'keeper races off his line to collect it.

SAVED!!! O'Shea's close-range effort is deflected into the path of Brownhill, who sizes up another shot from 18 yards and sends it straight into the gloves of Martinez!

Aston Villa vs Burnley

WIDE!!! Burnley go within millimetres! The visitors counter at space through Odobert, whose square ball from the right finds Foster. He tees up Brownhill on the edge of the area, but the captain's low shot rolls agonisingly wide of the far post with Martinez all-but beaten!

Assist Oliver George Arthur Watkins

The Villa free-kick is eventually taken by Douglas Luiz, but his meek effort is hit straight into the wall, with Bailey's volley on the rebound meeting the same fate!

Aston Villa vs Burnley

CHANCE!!! Douglas Luiz fizzes a Villa free-kick in from the left edge, with Carlos and Lenglet unable to get a touch on the goalbound ball before it's collected by Trafford!

Aston Villa vs Burnley

Ramsey and Moreno drill successive crosses into Burnley's box from the left, but both are cleared by the visiting defence with Watkins ever the target man.
