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.

Burnley vs Arsenal

For the Gunners, the question surely becomes when Arteta will look to get his star players off the Turf Moor pitch ahead of Wednesday's Champions League first leg. They surely have this game won, but will Arteta look to score one more before he starts freshening up his team?

That might be that for Burnley in terms of getting back into this game. This could end up being damage limitation in this second half, with only bottom club Sheffield United having a worse goal difference than the Clarets.

Things are looking fairly bleak for the Clarets, who had just 32.1 per cent of the possession in that first half, while they only managed two shots and none on target. While Arsenal have been impressive in stages, it feels like they haven't really had to get out of first gear to this point.

The half-time whistle blows with Arsenal cruising at Turf Moor, currently 2-0 up against Burnley thanks to goals from Odegaard and Saka. They were ahead after just four minutes, Martinelli pulling the ball back to the edge of the box for Odegaard, who took a touch before rifling a superb finish into the bottom corner. The Gunners then made it 2-0 with four minutes to go until the interval, Assignon bringing down Trossard for a penalty before Saka's penalty squeezed into the bottom corner past a despairing Trafford to leave Arsenal in command at the break.
