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.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Youth has certainly played its part for Brighton in 2023, with nine different teenagers representing them. Only Tottenham (1993) and Middlesbrough (2006) have fielded more teenagers during a calendar year in the Premier League (both 10).

CHANCE! Another neat move by the visitors sees Mitoma release Gross down the left. The latter crosses to the far post, where Hinshelwood arrives, but is unable to keep his first-time shot down from a tight angle.

GOOD EFFORT! Following a decent spell of Brighton pressure, the ball bounces kindly for Gilmour to strike on the volley. There is plenty of power in the Scotland international's strike, but Henderson is equal to it.

Players making positive impacts from the bench is something Brighton are very accustomed to. In fact, their substitutes have scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season - more than any other side.

SAVE! Buonanotte, who has been impressive since coming on, leads Brighton's charge again with a jinking run before feeding Mitoma. The latter cuts inside and gets a shot away, but it is straight at Henderson.

Brighton want a penalty as Hinshelwood goes to ground under pressure from Ayew. The referee consults VAR, who swiftly confirm the incident unworthy of the need for him to point to the spot.

CHANCE! Dunk pulls away from his marker to meet Gross' free-kick at the far post. However, he sends his header wide of the right post.
