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

Following defeats against Manchester United and Brighton, Wolves could lose their opening three games in a Premier League season for a second time in the last three campaigns. They also did so in 2021-22, though they went on to finish 10th under Bruno Lage that season.

Wolves are furious as Hwang appears to be tripped deep inside his own territory and the referee plays on. Gueye sees a shot blocked before Patterson looks for Onana with a deep cross… but it runs away for a goal-kick.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Everton have lost both of their Premier League games so far this season without scoring a single goal. The Toffees last lost their opening three games to a league campaign in 1990-91, and they have never done so without scoring.

Danjuma finds space for a shot from 25 yards out… but he lifts his effort well over Sa's crossbar. It's been a very competitive start here, with both teams looking to be physical in the middle of the park.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Cunha races into the area as Wolves break, but he is forced wide and Tarkowski eventually steps across to make a strong challenge. The play is then stopped for Silva to receive treatment after he was caught by Patterson, but the Wolves striker is soon back to his feet.

Silva wins a free-kick on the left flank for Wolves, which is lifted to the back post by Bueno. Lemina gets his head to it, but it drops comfortably into the arms of Pickford.

Everton are looking to press high and put Wolves under pressure in the early exchanges. Keeping the Goodison Park crowd on side will be key for the Toffees here.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves have won their last two away league games against Everton, as many as they had in their previous 16 such visits to Goodison Park (D5 L9). Could they win three successive matches on this ground for the very first time? The teams are out, and we're about to find out!

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

O'Neil makes two changes to his lineup for this game. Wolves' week has been dominated by suggestions Matheus Nunes may join Manchester City in a £60million deal, and he is suspended here after picking up two yellow cards against Brighton. Hwang replaces him out wide, while Bueno comes in for Ait-Nouri at left-back and Jonny – who looked set to be sold earlier in the window – is named on the bench.
