Pep Guardiola responds to ‘sacked in the morning’ chants

Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Manchester City today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

It’s been a strong and confident start to this match by Crystal Palace. They formed the first attack through Mateta and although nothing came from it, they have come out quickly.

Oliver Glasner makes no changes to his side that won in midweek against Ipswich, but there is some movement on the bench. Kamada returns to the matchday squad after serving his suspension but misses out on starting the match. Henderson makes his 100th Premier League appearance, and Guehi captains the side. For Manchester City, Ortega remains in goal and Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, Grealish and Doku all drop out of the starting lineup. Lewis, Walker, Savinho and Nunes come in to replace them. Haaland scored his first Premier League hat-trick against Crystal Palace, and he starts up front. Walker captains the away side.
