Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
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.

Sheffield United are enjoying a better spell of possession in this second half. Norrington-Davies gets down the left well but his low cross into the box is cleared away.

Bogle's cross from the right finds McBurnie inside the box who cushions a header down nicely towards the six-yard box. It's a Palace player who responds quickest, though, as the threat is cleared away.

It appears that the Croatian keeper will have to make way after suffering that blow to the head. He doesn't seem best pleased that his Premier League debut has come to a premature end.

There's a slight pause in play as Grbic is down having collided with Mateta.

It appears as if Brereton's substitution is due to a knock the forward picked up in the first half. The other change, meanwhile, looks to have changed Sheffield United's formation, with the away side now appearing to line up in a back five. Norrington-Davies will, therefore, be charged with man-marking Olise down that right side.

Hodgson must be pleased with what he saw from his team for large parts of that first half. They were the dominant force for large swathes of the first half, with the away side scoring from two of their three total shots. Olise's minutes will surely have to be managed after a long spell out with injury but the Frenchman has been superb so far, with three shots, two assists and 48 touches - the second-most of any Palace player.
