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 Nottingham Forest

Routine save! Gomes plays a one-two from the corner before swinging a cross in, which Cunha keeps alive on the far side. He plays a one-two with Dawson before shooting on his left foot, but his effort lacks power and Turner can drop to his right to cling on.

Hwang now looks to break down the left, but Murillo comes over to concede a corner as we approach the 30-minute mark. Can Wolves make this set-piece count?

Wolves are furious as Gibbs-White avoids being penalised for a potential nudge on Semedo, allowing Forest a rare foray forward. Goalscorer Toffolo crosses from the left, but Toti rises highest to head it clear.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

Wolves have had 70 per cent of the possession so far, and they've spent the last 10 minutes camped in Forest's half. They're yet to work a clear-cut opening, though, with Cooper's men keeping their shape well.

Half chance! Toti's hanging cross is headed up in the air by Niakhate, and Hwang is inexplicably left unmarked by Forest as it falls to him on the corner of the six-yard box. The angle is too tight, however, as he directs his header wide of the near post.

A loose pass from Elanga almost lets Cunha in down the Wolves left, but Boly steps in with an excellent challenge inside his own area. The former Wolves defender could have plenty of work to do here if Forest continue to sit this deep.

It's noticeable that Lemina is pulling extremely wide for Wolves when they have the ball, almost occupying a right-wing role. Wolves need to use the full width of the pitch here as they bid to open up Forest's compact low block.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

Forest have just one win and one clean sheet in their last 15 Premier League games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday (five draws, nine losses), beating Chelsea 1-0 in September. Wolves, though, have lost their last two Saturday 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League, suffering 2-1 defeats away to Sheffield United and Arsenal. Not since March 2012 have they lost three in a row in that kick-off slot in the competition.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

Wolves are penning Forest back now, with Gomes pressing high to dispossess Gibbs-White before flicking into Cunha. However, it's all a bit too intricate for the hosts as Williams comes over to blast a clearance off Hwang and out.
