Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Newcastle United 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:

OFF THE LINE! After Guehi picks out Sarr in the Newcastle area, the latter is denied by a smothering save from Pope. The ball rebounds for Munoz inside the six-yard box, but his goalbound shot from a tight angle is blocked away from the goal-line by Burn! Great defending!

After being teed up on the edge of the box, Hughes side-foots a shot at goal. It's clearly blocked by Schar's arm, but the offending limb was firmly by his side - the referee decides against pointing to the spot.

As Newcastle have not dropped a point from winning positions this season, Crystal Palace have a huge task on their hands to turn this game around. Their chances of victory have dropped to 7% according to Opta's live win predictor, but they'd surely settle for a point now.
