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.

There will be SIX minutes of stoppage time here! That's a huge boost for Wolves!

You can feel the tension around the Emirates as Arsenal fail to make anything of a right-wing corner and Wolves look to break. It would be simply remarkable if O'Neil's men can salvage a point from this game – they looked dead and buried!

POST! ARSENAL GO CLOSE TO KILLING THE CONTEST! The Gunners look to restore their two-goal lead immediately, with Nketiah played through on goal. Bentley gets the slightest of touches to his right-footed shot, and it bounces of the left-hand post and away! Wolves are still in this game!

A yellow card is shown to a member of Arsenal's coaching staff, with the fourth official not taking too kindly to their protests after that decision not to award a free-kick.

Half chance! Arsenal are furious as Trossard is denied a free-kick on the edge of the Wolves box, and the visitors break. The ball is worked out to Hwang, who sits Saliba down and finds space to shoot, but his low effort is held by Raya at his near post.

DOUBLE SAVE FROM BENTLEY! Arsenal should be 3-0 up. Havertz wins possession and links up with Odegaard to send Trossard through on goal. He holds off Toti before firing in a low shot, and Bentley gets down to make the block. The rebound is turned goalwards by Saka, but the Wolves substitute is again in the way!
