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.
Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United
Chris Wilder, meanwhile, makes five changes from Sheffield United's 5-2 defeat against Brighton in the FA Cup, while there also appears to be a change in formation, with the Blades moving to just one up top. In defence, Robinson replaces Norrinton-Davies, while Vinicius and Slimane are preferred to Norwood and Osborn in central midfield. Archer and Osula started up front in the FA Cup but the pair both drop to the bench for this fixture, with McBurnie and McAtee coming in from the start.

Roy Hodgson makes two changes to his Crystal Palace side that lost 5-0 against Arsenal. Ayew returns from the Africa Cup of Nations and Olise is back from injury, with both returning to the starting lineup. Clyne and Schlupp, therefore, drop to the bench.

Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United
Sheffield United, meanwhile, were in action in the FA Cup fourth round this weekend but suffered yet another defeat in the form of a 5-2 loss against Brighton. New manager Chris Wilder may have picked up a win in his second game in charge but the Blades have won just one in their last seven since then in all competitions. Last time out in the Premier League, they picked up a vital point at home against West Ham thanks to a last-minute penalty and the visitors will surely be eyeing up a vital away win today which would see them move off the bottom of the table, with Burnley not playing until Wednesday.
Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United
A lack of FA Cup action over the weekend will have given Roy Hodgson and his team some much-needed time for contemplation as they look to arrest their slide towards a relegation battle. The Eagles have just one win in their last 12 matches in all competitions, with their last Premier League fixture ending in a thumping 5-0 defeat against Arsenal. They currently sit just five points above the bottom three and will see tonight as a must-win game against the team rooted to the bottom of the table.
