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 West Ham United

Everton have their first shot of the game. Onana drives through the middle with the ball, but he's dispossessed. It falls into the path of Beto, who tries to find Harrison, but the ball cannons back into his feet. The Portuguese striker picks it up once again just outside the box and unleashes from range, but it goes comfortably wide of the post.

Dyche's side are enjoying more of the possession in the early stages of the game, with Moyes instructing his players to sit deep and absorb the pressure. It's been a cagey start to the match, with neither side showing too much of an attacking threat in the first half so far.

Everton vs West Ham United

Everton win a throw-in deep inside the West Ham half, and they recycle possession back to Branthwaite. He sends it long towards Godfrey, but Emerson is there to win the header. The Toffees come forward again as Godfrey looks to take on Paqueta and he goes down appealing for a free-kick, but the referee is having none of it.

Everton vs West Ham United

Moyes has named an unchanged side from West Ham's previous fixture, and it's no surprise. The Hammers ended a six-game winless run with a 4-2 victory over Brentford, and the Scottish manager clearly feels the 11 players who started that match deserve another chance to impress.

Everton vs West Ham United

Dyche has made two changes from Everton's 1-1 draw against Brighton last weekend in the Premier League. Idrissa Gueye misses out through injury, so Amadou Onana comes into the starting XI. There's a straight swap in attack too, with Calvert-Lewin dropping to the bench and Beto coming into the side.
