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.

Schlupp charges up the middle on the break for Palace, and again finds Eze in support. He cuts inside and looks to shoot early, but his effort skews well off-target and ends up closer to the corner flag than the goal itself!

Palace transition from defence to attack brilliantly as Edouard and Eze combine, but the midfielder finds his way blocked by a plethora of Brentford defenders and he can't get a shot away before being dispossessed!

BLOCKED!!! Ayew dribbles his way into a crowded Brentford box before shooting, but he's completely surrounded by red and white shirts and Henry's block sends the ball behind for a corner!

Eze, Edouard and Mitchell link up nicely as Palace come forward at pace, but the latter's cross is poor and sails over the top of any intended targets!

Schlupp and Norgaard get into a tangle on the edge of Palace's box, with the free-kick going Brentford's way. The set-piece is eventually taken, with a pre-planned move not paying off as intended but still forcing a corner.
