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.

The latest corner is delivered with pace into the six-yard box, but Diop rises to glance it clear for a throw-in. Mitrovic stays down in the box and is receiving treatment on the pitch, much to the annoyance of the home fans.

Fulham missed the ability to go direct without Mitrovic in the first half. They will hope his introduction gives them a different edge in attack – they've improved since the restart.

OFF THE POST! Jimenez goes agonisingly close to a first Fulham goal! Wilson hits the byline and lifts a cross into the area, where Jimenez is waiting to volley towards goal. His strike clips the inside of Pickford's right-hand post and bounces out, before Decordova-Reid shoots over on the rebound.

Jimenez holds the ball up well to feed Tete on the right, and the full-back is tripped by Tarkowski. Fulham have a chance to whip the free-kick into the area, but they opt to go short instead.
