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.

Mistiming his tackle around 10 yards outside Burnley's area, Beyer arrives late on Pereira and concedes a free-kick in dangerous territory. Fulham have several candidates that will fancy their chances of scoring the opener from this set-piece opportunity.

Following a deflected cross from the left towards the near post, Trafford clings on tightly to Cairney's dangerous delivery. The home side have certainly found their rhythm, and having scored 10 times across two recent home games, that could be bad news for Burnley.

Trafford has been busy over the past few minutes, marking a complete turnaround from the early stages, during which Burnley were on top and forced a few corners. In the last five minutes, Fulham have had 74 per cent of possession.

DOUBLE CHANCE! Fulham come close on two more occasions, as the hosts suddenly burst into life! First, Joao Palhinha has a low drive kept out by Trafford, who makes a save down to his right; then, Iwobi finds the side-netting from a tight angle near the right byline!

SAVE! A direct, determined run by Wilson sees the Wales winger make his way past several defenders and cut into the box. His prodded finish from 10 yards is then palmed away by Trafford, who dives down to his left to make a crucial save!

Burnley have had a 67 per cent share of the ball thus far, showing no fear on away soil. How will Fulham react to playing such a submissive role at Craven Cottage?

Fulham vs Burnley

Recent form suggests they are favourites to prevail today, but Fulham's last win over Burnley was a 4-2 success in August 2018 - and they have only beaten the Clarets twice since September 2000.

Fulham concede two corners in short order, with Burnley pushing forward at every opportunity early in this game. The second delivery is sent far too long, though, and is ultimately cleared away by Iwobi from the hosts' right-back spot.

Following a corner on the left, which is initially worked short by Iwobi, Cairney beats his man and tees up a 20-yard shot. However, the Fulham skipper's shot is sent well wide of the right-hand post.
