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.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

Pochettino makes his second change, bringing Sterling on for the ineffective Jackson, who failed to have a shot on target in this game.

SAVE! Palmer capitalises on a loose ball before dancing inside and slotting a left-footed strike through Richards' legs. Henderson, despite being unsighted, stays central and makes a routine stop in the middle of his goal.

HUGE STOP! Palace seem to be settling for a point but the Eagles almost strike against the run of play. Franca bursts through the middle before unleashing a fizzing right-footed rocket towards the bottom-left corner. Petrovic sees it all the way, though, and parries away a vital save.

There is an initial delay from Chelsea's corner as Andersen and Colwill shove one another inside the Palace box. Once referee Oliver has calmed the situation down, Gallagher delivers towards the far post, where Richards easily heads away.

The Chelsea players surround referee Oliver after Andersen climbs over the back of Nkunku. The visitors want a penalty but have to settle for a left-sided corner after the VAR sticks with the original decision.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

Nkunku has scored two goals in five Premier League appearances for Chelsea, both as a sub and has ended on the losing side in both, against Wolves and Liverpool. He’s one of only two players to score in more than one Premier League game for the Blues and lose both, along with Laurent Charvet. Can the France international make a late impact here?

OVER! Chelsea are ramping up the pressure. Caicedo glides past Mitchell before Munoz flicks away at the back post. Chilwell receives possession on the edge of the area before blazing a left-footed drive over.

Richards races across on the cover to clear behind when Jackson threatens to break past the Palace defence. Chilwell takes the right-sided corner, delivering towards the near post before Ayew clears.

Munoz overlaps Ayew but cannot wrap his foot around the cross as Petrovic claims at the near post. Palace have offered little in the way of attacking threat since half-time.
