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.

SAVED!!! Baldock's teasing cross into the box is flicked away by Andersen, but Sheffield United keep possession as Lowe tees up Norwood. He's in space to shoot and lets fly from 25 yards, but the low drive is an easy one for Johnstone to save and hold!

OVER!!! From the corner, Guehi flicks Eze's delivery on at the front post towards Edouard, who can't keep his header down at the back stick and sends it over the bar!
