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 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Everton introduce former Sporting CP attacker Chermiti for his debut, with Dobbin being withdrawn.

Now Everton go close! Doucoure puts Danjuma through, but Dawson does well to slow his advance and force him wide, from where he is unable to beat Sa. We've got a game on our hands now!

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

WHAT A SAVE! Neto's wicked delivery hits an Everton player and bounces goalwards, only for Pickford to make a stunning reflex save, diving down to his right to keep the match goalless.

Garner is booked after conceding that free-kick, which will be taken by Neto.

This game is being played at a much quicker pace now, with Wolves starting to show more attacking intent. Ait-Nouri steps inside Garner and is tripped, winning a free-kick on the Wolves left.

WHAT A CHANCE FOR WOLVES! Pickford and Tarkowski both leave a loose ball for one another, allowing Silva to remain onside as he darts through on goal. The Wolves striker has to score, but he side-foots just wide of the far post. Another left-off for the hosts.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Silva went a fraction too early as he looked to reach Bueno's cross, but the finish was expertly applied. That should offer some encouragement to Wolves, who are finally looking to up the intensity of their play.

Goaaaal…. But wait, the flag is up! What a let-off for Everton! Bueno's cross is delicately prodded home by Silva, darting across Branthwaite towards the front post. However, the linesman signals for offside, and replays show the Wolves man went slightly too early.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Patterson (41) and Semedo (54) – the two teams' respective right-backs – managed more touches than any of their team-mates in the opening 45 minutes. That tells you something about the lack of creativity on display.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

There's a moment of concern for Everton as Onana stays down after winning possession from Neto, having appeared to get his studs caught in the turf. He receives treatment before re-entering the action, however, and he looks okay to play on.
