Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Ipswich Town 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:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Ipswich Town

Hutchinson very nearly broke through the Wolves backline, but Bueno did well to keep up with him and make the tackle after a bad touch from the Ipswich man.

Wolves keep coming, and they look as though they are trying to equalise quickly here. They don’t want to lose again and can sense some weakness in the Ipswich side.

GREAT SAVE! Burns struck from the right side of the box, and the shot was heading for the left corner of the goal. Johnstone stuck an arm out and got a big hand to the ball to save and keep the scoreline 1-0.

Wolves have started the second half well and have got themselves an early corner. This gives Ipswich something to think about, but Muric came and collected with ease.

KICK-OFF! The second half is under way at Molineux, and what a big half this could be for both teams!

Looking to the second half, Wolves need to get a hold of their emotions before they can focus on the football. They have been far too feisty to play a good game of football, and their emotions are getting the better of them. If they can get them under control, they can begin to work on the Ipswich defence. For Ipswich, they need to keep doing the same as the first half. They are doing well and are ahead due to their persistent efforts. They will more than likely need an insurance goal, as they know from their recent game against Bournemouth, but they are in a good spot at the break.

It’s been a feisty 45 minutes here at Molineux and only one goal separates the two sides as they head into the break. The game has been a cagey affair for a large amount of the first half, and it has impacted the flow of the game because of the amount of stoppages. Ipswich pulled ahead in the 15th minute after a quiet opening period, and it was a very comical goal that they scored. Hutchinson failed to score from a few yards out, and after a goal-line clearance, Chaplin’s shot was deflected by two Wolves players before rolling over Johnstone’s line to make it 1-0 to the away side. Wolves had a great chance to equalise shortly after, but Bellegarde shot over the bar from inside the box. There has been a VAR check for violent conduct, and you can expect more cards in the second half as this game comes to a boil. Opta’s live win probability shows a 17.% chance of a Wolves win, 27.2% for a draw, and 55.3% for an Ipswich Town win. So far, Wolves have created 0.26 xG and Ipswich have created 0.61 xG.

Ipswich have done well to not rise to any of Wolves’ childish actions, and they have one of the home side’s key players on a booking through no fault of their own.
