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.

Brighton are patiently keeping possession at the back, as they consistently evade United's disjointed press. It's hard to envisage how the home side can get anything from this game now, as they can barely get hold of the ball.

SAVE! Closing down the angle at his near post, Onana keeps out a prodded shot from close range by Mitoma, who seemed set to score Brighton's fourth goal when set free by Joao Pedro's throughball.

A rugged challenge by Veltman sends Reguilon sprawling and concedes a corner-kick. Following the set-piece, Fernandes chips a ball back into the box from the right, before Lindelof heads the ball over the crossbar under pressure.
