Follow all the action from Goodison Park
Follow live coverage as Everton face Crystal Palace 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:

Calvert-Lewin is looked to be in down the right side, yet he tangles with Lerma and eventually stumbles it out of play for a Palace goal-kick. That could have been an Everton free-kick there. The striker thinks so anyway...

Following a left-sided free-kick from McNeil, Everton nod it back from the right post. It comes to Calvert-Lewin, yet he's under it and it flies straight up. With another free-kick, Palace head clear, before a corner is punched out with Branthwaite lurking. The big man went down under the challenge of Wharton and wanted a penalty there.

A lofted ball finds Mateta on the right-central channel, completely free. He drives to the byline and plays a low ball into the box looking for Eze, yet Everton clear. In the next phase, Eze runs through the centre and looks to shoot from the edge of the box, yet Doucoure tactically pushes the England international to give away a cynical free-kick in a dangerous area.
