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.

CHANCE!!! Palace pile forward on the counter-attack as Eze glides his way through several challenges. He finds Ayew, who slips Edouard in behind the defence, but after stepping in and out of Pinnock's attempted tackle, the Brentford defender recovers to dispossess the striker in the box and Flekken can dive on the loose ball!

Brentford keep possession well and the ball comes to Hickey on the right-hand side. He looks to cut inside Schlupp but is bowled over by the Palace winger, who concedes a free-kick in a good crossing position for the Bees.

Palace’s side is also unchanged for the third game running. After so very nearly taking a point off Arsenal at Selhurst Park, Roy Hodgson is clearly looking to develop the combinations for success in his team – many of which are built around Eberechi Eze, who starts in his usual number 10 position despite transfer interest from Manchester City.
