Follow all the action from Turf Moor
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.

Burnley vs Fulham
Vitinho fells De Cordova-Reid with a clumsy challenge, gifting Fulham a free-kick. However, Andreas Pereira's clipped delivery is uncharacteristcally wayward, allowing Trafford to comfortably claim the ball by the penalty spot.

Vitinho's cross from the left byline is only partly cleared away by Robinson, but Ramsey's strike at goal on the follow-up is mishit straight towards Leno, who makes a routine save.
Burnley vs Fulham
Since April 2023, Fulham are unbeaten in four league matches when leading at half-time, winning on three occasions; meanwhile, Burnley have a record of 13 straight losses when trailing at the break this season. The outcome of today's game seems set in stone, then - but stranger things have happened in the Premier League.
Burnley vs Fulham
Rewarded for a greater share of possession and clinical finishing when their chances arose, Fulham shook off their final-third slumbers to score twice during a first half that Burnley lost control of after a relatively bright start. First, Joao Palhinha flicked in a header from close range, then Rodrigo Muniz lobbed the Cottagers further in front shortly after, as Turf Moor was left in stunned silence. The visitors are therefore on course for their first success at this ground since 1951, while their hosts have it all to do after the interval: on this evidence, they could be heading back to the Championship a few months from now.

For a clear show of dissent towards the referee, Andreas Pereira is needlessly booked on the brink of half-time.

Apparently fully recovered, Odobert now returns from the touchline, in the first of at least three minutes of first-half stoppage time.
