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.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Burnley

Adingra is up against Taylor on the right, with the winger allowed to get the ball out of his feet before curling a low cross into the box. Ferguson rushes across to try and attack it, but O'Shea is there to slide it away.

Brighton build their play down the left side of the pitch. The ball rolls into the path of Dahoud outside the box, but he is caught between a shot and a pass into Adingra. As a result, he slices it out for a throw-in.

There has been plenty of action at both ends but no goals. If Brighton’s recent record conveys anything, it is that the deadlock will be broken sooner rather than later. The Seagulls are on the longest scoring run in the Premier League (31 games) and also the longest run of conceding (19 games) of any team. Only five teams in top-flight history have scored and conceded in 20 or more consecutive matches, most recently Newcastle United between December 1957 and August 1958 (21).

Brighton are starting to get in their groove in possession. The Seagulls play quick passes on the edge of the box, with Gross laying it back to Dahoud. He then blasts a first-time strike over the bar.

WIDE! Brighton are starting to dominate this match. Adingra receives the ball on the right and curls a fantastic cross into the box. Van Hecke gets onto the end of it but crashes his header just wide of the post.

SAVE! Trafford saves his side for a second time. Burnley cause their own problems, with the away side gifting the Seagulls possession inside their own box. Ferguson drops it back to Milner, whose low strike towards the bottom corner is pushed away.

Dunk has the ball inside Brighton's half and attempts to switch it over to Adingra on the right. He cannot keep it on the pitch, but the flag then goes up for offside. Burnley then take their time to take the free-kick, with Lallana furious at the officials for not speeding up the Clarets.

Gross makes the most of a loose pass from Burnley. He drives through the heart of the pitch before finding Lallana, who offloads it to Adingra on his right. The winger then cuts inside just outside of the box and looks to shoot, but his effort is blocked.

SAVE! Pedro moves inside with the ball and finds Adingra with a pass. The winger then slides the ball down the right to Gross, who overlaps him and gets into the box. He then looks for the near post with a low shot, but Trafford sticks out a foot to make a smart stop.
