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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Sheffield United

Kilman carries the ball out of defence and sends an outside-of-the-boot pass in behind the Sheffield United defence. Hwang is chasing it and manages to hook the ball across goal, but Grbic makes a stop with his feet. It wouldn't have counted anyway, as the assistant has his flag up with the ball going out of play.

Sarabia spots the run of Semedo who charges down the right-hand side, with Larouci coming across the close him down. The Portuguese right-back heads towards the byline and sends a cross into the box, but Grbic comes rushing off his line to collect the ball. It's all Wolves at the moment!

Lemina switches the play out wide to Neto who looks to get one-on-one with Bogle. He sends a searching delivery into the box and towards the back post, with Sarabia charging in, but the Wolves forward can't divert the ball back into the danger zone and he sends it behind for a goal-kick to the Blades.

Neto has started brightly for Wolves, receiving the ball from deep and dancing through the challenges of the Sheffield United players, but Souza manages to get back in and time his challenge to perfection. O'Neil's side are enjoying more of the possession in the early stages, as expected.

After the Blades' heavy defeat at home to Brighton, Wilder has made four alterations. There's a change between the sticks, with Foderingham dropping to the bench and Grbic replacing him in goal. Mason Holgate misses out through suspension, so Trusty slots in at the back. In midfield, Norwood comes into the starting XI with Osborn named among the substitutes. Sheffield United's final change sees Osula dropping out for Brewster up front.

O'Neil has named an unchanged team from Wolves' previous fixture, and it's no surprise. The Midlands club secured a fantastic 2-1 victory away to Tottenham Hotspur, with Gomes scoring a brace. Wolves are still without Matheus Cunha, who suffered an injury against Bournemouth earlier this month.
