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.

AGUERD SHOULD SCORE! West Ham force their first corner of the game. Bowen's delivery is flicked on at the near post by Soucek, but Aguerd cannot react quickly enough to apply the finishing touch in the six-yard box.

HAALAND MISSES! He is human, you know! Doku teases defenders before slipping the ball through for Gvardiol, who drills it across the face of goal. Haaland is unmarked at the far post, but can only steer the ball wide from inside the six-yard box.
