Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face AFC Bournemouth 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:

Ipswich Town vs AFC Bournemouth

A painful game for Ipswich, who once again cannot keep hold of the lead. The first Premier League home win was moments away, but Enes Unal’s header cancelled out Conor Chaplin’s sweeping finish before Dango Ouattara netted the win deep into stoppage time. With Leicester drawing as well, it means that Keiran McKenna’s side moved further away from safety. Bournemouth, after a slow start, deserved the victory as they notched up a 2.78 xG compared to Ipswich’s 1.33. A damning game for Ipswich fans who have to continue their wait for a first home win of the season, but for Bournemouth they are hunting down European spots at a frightening pace, thanks to this 2-1 victory.

Brooks took one for the team there, as Hutchinson moved away from him, the Welshman just dragged him down.

Bournemouth have now reached 10 corners in this game. They haven't had the delivery right for many as Ipswich clear this one well again. They are holding firm.
