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.

Fulham vs Liverpool

Liverpool moved level on points with Premier League leaders Arsenal after a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Reds lacked intent with possession for most of the first half but took the lead through a moment of quality from Alexander-Arnold, who whipped his free-kick from the edge of the box into the top-left corner. However, the Cottagers levelled the score just before the break, with Castagne netting a cool finish from close range into the bottom-left corner. Silva would have expected his team to continue their momentum into the second half, but couldn't find a way past Liverpool's defence and had to wait until the 83rd minute for their next shot. The visitors gained control, with Gravenberch scoring his first Premier League goal with a curling finish into the right corner before Jota doubled the lead with a low strike. Klopp's men only created an xG of 1.02 but will be delighted to return to winning ways in the top flight. They travel to Everton for their next match, with Fulham hosting a confident Palace side. That's all for today, goodbye.

Salah breaks down the right and attempts to cut the ball across to Nunez, but his low cross is too far away from the forward. Nunez rescues it, but he goes alone from a narrow angle and smashes the side of the net.

Pereira is over a deep free-kick on the right, and he lofts the ball towards the edge of the box, but Nunez heads it away. The Brazilian has struggled to find a Fulham shirt today, with Van Dijk doing well to clear the danger on a few occasions.

SAVE AND WIDE! An opportunity for Fulham to get one back! Muniz offloads the ball to Wilson on the edge of the box, with the winger driving a low effort towards the bottom-left corner. Alisson gets down to push it away before Muniz fires wide from a tight angle.

Traore has already had plenty of touches on the left and has caused some problems for Liverpool without creating anything noteworthy. Gomez and Elliott are working together to stop him.

Iwobi made the mistake that led to Liverpool's second goal. He is coming off for Traore, who will add more pace to Fulham's attack.

Pereira's cross from the right isn’t cleared away well by Liverpool's defence, with Muniz chesting the ball into the air before looking for the bottom-right corner with an overhead kick. However, his effort is blocked by Adarabioyo before Lukic fires over.
