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.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa

The Reds are enjoying over 65 per cent of possession as the clock ticks down towards what should be a commanding win.

Although Liverpool are three goals to the good and comfortable in possession, Klopp wants more from his players as he barks out instructions from the touchline.

Twice in as many minutes, Duran goes for goal from angles that are far too tight. On both occasions, he is way off target and his team-mates are far from impressed.

Good try! Liverpool go in search of more goals. Szoboszlai's corner is only cleared to the edge of the box, where Elliott's volley deflects just wide of the target.

GOOD SAVE! Another lofted ball over the top releases Salah once more. He could square it for Gakpo, but goes for goal from a tight angle and Martinez pushes it away.

CLOSE! Alexander-Arnold brilliantly accelerates away from challenges and space opens ahead of him. The crowd urge him to shoot from distance and he obliges, with his powerful attempt not far over the crossbar.

It seems like it is damage limitation for Villa as we enter the final quarter of this game. Liverpool are well in control of proceedings.
