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.

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

SAVE! Having been untested for the second half so far, Sa drops low to his right in order to keep out Christie's low strike! In truth, it lacked sufficient pace and precision to beat the Wolves goalkeeper, but at least Bournemouth are starting to pose more of a threat.

Bournemouth's 10 men are stuck inside their own half, and they cannot seem to find any rhythm. It appears all they can hope to do is hang on grimly for a point, or perhaps steal a winner from a counter-attack or set-piece.

It's still all Wolves: Cunha rises highest to meet Doherty's inswinging cross from the right, but he can only glance it wide from 10 yards when a firmer header would have found the target.

Billing concedes a corner by hangling out a leg when Hwang tries to guide through a pass for Pedro Neto in the area. Then, Wolves earn another one, which also comes to nothing - this time due to a loose touch by Cunha.

Pedro Neto again pins Bournemouth back with a direct run, and after he delivers a cutback from the right byline, Kelly and then Kerkez intervene to scramble the ball away.

Not only have Wolves taken each of the last five shots in this game, their share of possession since half-time stands at 73 per cent. What a turnaround for the visitors!

Cunha slides a ball through for Hwang down the left side of the area, but rather than shooting he plays in Ait-Nouri, who has his shot blocked behind from a tight angle.

It's all unravelled following the break, and Bournemouth are in danger of imploding now. Already a man down, Scott charges into a reckless challenge and concedes a free-kick. From Pedro Neto's set-piece, Hwang heads the ball well over.

As Wolves continue to push forward, Aarons has to turn the ball behind for a corner. Neto punches it well clear from inside his six-yard box, and Bournemouth eventually clear their lines.
