Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Newcastle United 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:

Another chance for the Magpies sees Gordon fail to connect properly with a teasing cross from Isak. It's been near-total domination from the away side in this half.

Isak receives the ball from Gordon in the box and tries to bend the ball around O'Shea and into the far corner, but Muric makes a comfortable save and holds onto it. You could see what he was trying to do there.

Isak does well to hold off a few Ipswich challenges on the edge of the area before playing it back to Gordon who overhits his cross.

Newcastle go on the attack again down the right with Murphy fizzing in a cross which goes just beyond Isak, and Muric claims. This has been a thoroughly disappointing first half from the home side.
