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

O'Neil has made a change at the break. Hwang has failed to emerge after going down under Patterson's challenge shortly before half-time. Ait-Nouri will take his place in a more advanced position than usual on the left.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves and Everton scored just 31 and 34 Premier League goals last season respectively – fewer than Erling Haaland managed for Manchester City! You can certainly see why. Everton have only hit the target with two of their eight shots, while Wolves are yet to work Pickford from six attempts. One goal might be enough to win this one.

Craig Pawson's half-time whistle sounds, and it's still goalless between Everton and Wolves at Goodison Park. As many expected, it's been a tight, cagey affair lacking quality in the final third, but Dyche's hosts have created the better chances. Both Tarkowski and Danjuma have squandered good opportunities, while Wolves have lacked inspiration with Neto their only consistent threat. There's surely more to come from both teams after the break!

Onana heads a long kick from Pickford down on the edge of the area as Doucoure attempts to reach it, but Dawson and Kilman combine to hack it clear.

Cunha is helped to his feet and looks okay to continue after receiving treatment. Wolves have lost several attacking players in this transfer window, so they can't afford to lose anyone to injury. Two additional minutes will be played here.

Cunha is still receiving treatment on the turf. Tarkowski inadvertently stepped on Cunha's leg as the pair landed after battling for a cross into the area.

Lemina holds off three blue shirts in midfield to get Wolves moving, but Hwang's cross is just too high for Cunha, who heads well wide. The Brazilian is in some discomfort after landing awkwardly – this is a huge concern for Wolves.

Tarkowski meets Young's free-kick from the left, but his tame header comes off Silva and rolls straight to Sa.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Cunha and Silva have managed just 12 and 10 touches respectively so far. Wolves' only real attacking outlet has been Neto, who looks to fancy his chances against Everton left-back young.
