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.

The City corner is cleared as far as Alvarez on the edge of the box. He controls it nicely but flashes a volley a fair way off target.

Brighton are continuing with their pressing game. City are passing it around pretty freely as De Bruyne leads a charge that culminates in his shot from the edge of the box deflecting behind for a corner.

CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS! Dunk gets on the end of a corner. He heads the ball into the ground and it bounces into the hands of Ederson - he should have been doing better. Moments later, Alvarez drills an angled drive wide of Steele's target at the other end.

OVER! Baleba gives away a free-kick around 35 yards from goal, which he is eager to dispute, and that allows Foden to swing in a delightful delivery. Ake comes in around the back unmarked but guides the half-volley over the crossbar from eight yards.
