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:

Ipswich try to beat Newcastle's press in the first phase but sloppy passing again sees Guimaraes win the ball back for the Magpies. McKenna will likely be displeased with his side's performance in possession so far.

Murphy is enjoying a strong run of form, with three goals and two assists in his last three Premier League games.

Gordon deserves credit for the run and then laying it off for Murphy to rifle home. The two wingers have been impressive for the away side so far.

Ipswich Town vs Newcastle United

GOALL!!!!! 2-0 NEWCASTLE! WHAT A FINISH! Gordon drags out a few Ipswich defenders with a positive run before centring to Murphy on the right-hand side of the penalty area. With little backlift, the winger thrashes an effort right into the roof of the net, giving Muric no chance! Ipswich 0-2 Newcastle.

Cajuste has space to run into for the home side but his pass is easily intercepted by Tonali. Newcastle go on the attack but Muric collects from a poor cross by Hall.

Chaplin fouls Guimaraes in the centre of the pitch and Newcastle are awarded a free kick.

After a passage of end-to-end action, the game has slowed with Ipswich enjoying a spell of possession. Nothing threatening for the Newcastle backline though.

WHAT A CHANCE FOR TWO! Isak is put clean through after a wonderful pass from Murphy but his effort is a weak one and straight at Muric! You would expect so much more from him in that position!

Newcastle look threatening on the break with Guimaraes playing in Murphy in the box but Morsy is on hand to deny the winger with a thunderous block.
