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.

Everton vs Fulham

GREAT CHANCE FOR 2-0! Decordova-Reid escapes Patterson's attentions at the back post to reach Wilson's tempting delivery, but he sends his volley over! Fulham could have killed the contest there.

Everton vs Fulham

All six of Everton's home wins in the Premier League last season were to nil, with five of those being by a 1-0 scoreline. The Toffees haven't won any of their last 12 home league games when conceding at least once (D2 L10) since beating Crystal Palace 3-2 in May 2022. They need to produce something special to start the season with three points now.

Everton vs Fulham

Everton will be cursing their luck, having gone behind after clearly enjoying the better of this game. They have around 15 minutes – plus potentially a long period of stoppage time – to salvage something.

Everton vs Fulham

Everton will give a debut to loanee Danjuma here. He's replacing Maupay in attack, seven months after he rejected the Toffees to join Tottenham.

Everton vs Fulham

Fulham's goal has lived a charmed life at times in this game. Patterson will be desperate for Everton to go on and get the winner now, having squandered the clearest chance yet. The goal was absolutely gaping as he side-footed against the woodwork!

Everton vs Fulham

Wilson goes for goal from range following a strong solo run through the heart of midfield, but it's always rising and flies clear of Pickford's crossbar.

Everton vs Fulham

CROSSBAR! HOW HAVE EVERTON NOT SCORED? Iwobi cuts inside and draws a diving save from Leno with a right-footed effort from the edge of the area. The goal is gaping as Patterson follows it up, but he crashes his shot against the crossbar and away! That's the biggest let-off let for Fulham!

Everton vs Fulham

Mitrovic is back on, for the time being at least, with Vinicius sitting back on the bench. We'll have to wait and see how this one plays out.

12 August 2023 16:26

Everton vs Fulham

Fulham have Vinicius stripped and ready to replace Mitrovic, but the Serbia striker seems to want to play on. Losing him to injury would be a huge blow.
