Follow live coverage as Everton face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Cunha is played in down the left and swings a cross into the box, but Branthwaite heads it behind for a corner. Cunha will take and he plays it short before delivering, but Mykolenko heads it clear.

Early chance for Wolves! O'Neil's side build up well and Ait-Nouri is played in down the left-hand side. He cuts it back into the penalty area and Strand Larsen is there to meet it, but he scuffs his effort and it's behind for a goal-kick.
