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.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace

Brighton come away with a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the Amex Stadium. It was a nightmare start from the Eagles as Dunk headed home a Gross corner after just a few minutes, and it was always going to be an uphill battle from there. The Seagulls doubled their lead later in the half through Hinshelwood, before Buonanotte struck a third just a few minutes later, and Brighton went into the break with a 3-0 lead. De Zerbi’s side controlled the game after half-time, but a superb header from Mateta saw Palace pull one back. However, a late Joao Pedro goal sealed the three points for Brighton in what was an emphatic victory for the South Coast outfit. Up next for Brighton is a trip to Tottenham next Saturday, while Palace will be desperate to bounce back in their next fixture, a London derby against Chelsea. That’s all for today, goodbye!
