Follow all the action from Villa Park
Follow live coverage as Aston Villa face Wolverhampton Wanderers 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:

The direction of play is all one way at the moment, as Aston Villa press for a late winner against their local rivals. Both Rogers and Maatsen are crowded out by a number of gold-shirted defenders inside the Wolves area, so the hosts have to settle for another corner.

From a 25-yard free-kick - centrally positioned - Bailey steps up and sends a curling effort comfortably over the crossbar. He cleared the defensive wall but never looked likely to get the ball dipping towards its target.

Having taken a big hit from Rogers, Mosquera cannot continue. Bueno is sent on to replace him at the heart of Wolves' defence.

It seems to be more serious than first expected, as Mosquera is going to be helped off by a stretcher. He departs holding his head in his hands, but at least the Colombian defender appears to be alert.

Play is halted while Mosquera receives treatment from the medical team, as he took quite a blow from Rogers. It looks like he'll have to come off, so Wolves may have to make a change to the defence that has performed so well thus far.
