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 Aston Villa

Plenty of possession for Burnley after that second Villa goal but not much in the way of chances for the home side.

Luiz delivers Villa's first corner of the game but it's headed over the bar by Carlos at the near post.

Villa are breaking forward at will on the transition and Burnley can't deal with it at the minute. Torres finds Digne over the top but Al Dakhil does well to get back and block the cross out for a corner.

Should Burnley lose today, it would mean the Clarets have lost their opening two Premier League games for a third consecutive Premier League season, having already done so in 2020-21 and 2021-22.

Benson cuts back dangerously onto his left foot and whips in an enticing ball into the box. No Burnley player gambles on it, however, and the ball drifts harmlessly out for a goal kick.

Koleosho with a nice delivery from the left for the Clarets, but it's just over the head of Foster inside the Villa box.

The perfect start for Villa on the break. They switched up to a three-at-the-back formation and it worked to great effect there, with the wing-back bombing forward to convert at the back post.

Benson's delivery is poor and Cash is able to clear it away with ease at the near post. Villa break up the pitch through Diaby, who is on his own, but does superbly to drive up the pitch and into the box. In the end, the effort is tame and the retreating Burnely defence can block the shot.
