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.

Everton vs Sheffield United

FULL-TIME: EVERTON 1-0 SHEFFIELD UNITED

Everton vs Sheffield United

Everton secured their fifth consecutive Premier League win and clean sheet at Goodison Park with a 1-0 victory over the Blades. The Toffees created an xG of 1.73 in an impressive first-half display, with Doucoure denied twice by Foderingham before breaking the deadlock. A tame header was saved before the midfielder got onto the end of a cutback from Calvert-Lewin, but the goalkeeper made an excellent stop at close range. However, Doucoure then netted next to the goal after brilliant work from Calvert-Lewin, who rounded Foderingham before lifting a cross to him for a simple finish. The second half failed to get going, with neither side having a shot on target. The Blades went close when Brereton Diaz got onto the end of a cross from Lowe, but he headed over. Garner then should've doubled Everton's lead in stoppage time. However, he lifted his first-time striker above the bar. Everton will end the season with a trip to Premier League challengers Arsenal, with the Blades hosting Tottenham. That's all, goodbye.

CHANCE! Chermiti breaks down the left side of the box and forces Foderingham into a good save at his near post before the flag goes up for offside.

The stoppages mean that the game will go on for longer than the four minutes added. Everton continue to put the pressure on.

Warrington is the second player to be given his Premier League debut in this match after the Blades' Curtis. Gomes cannot continue after sustaining a head injury. The only positive is that he is on his feet as he walks off.

OVER! Hamer finds Brereton-Diaz on the right, with the Chile international lifting a cross towards the back post towards Brewster, who heads it back into the middle. Slimane takes too long to get a shot away, with the ball looping into the air, but Hamer heads well over.

Everton vs Sheffield United

OVER! Chermiti collects possession on the right and rushes into the box. He is not put under pressure by Trusty and gets a strike away on his right foot, but lifts the ball over the bar. There still hasn’t been a shot on target from either side in the second half.
