Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face West Ham United 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:

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

Full-time at Selhurst Park as second-half goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen earned West Ham a first Premier League win under new manager Julen Lopetegui and condemned Crystal Palace to their first home defeat since early April. Following an enthralling opening 45 minutes where the Eagles largely dominated and should have been in front, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock in the second-half thanks to Soucek and some impressive work down the right hand side from debutant Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It took the Hammers only five minutes to increase their lead as captain Bowen fired a brilliant left-footed drive inside the near post for his first-ever goal against Palace. Thanks for reading!
