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 Luton Town
It's a win that lifts Luton out of the relegation zone and up to 17th, only behind Everton now on goal difference. They'll play their game in hand against Burnley in midweek. That's four home defeats on the bounce for the Toffees, who go off to boos. They'll be hoping to change that against Bournemouth next weekend.
Everton vs Luton Town
Luton win their first-ever Premier League game, beating Everton 2-1. All of the work was done in the first half from two set-pieces. The first was a corner, which Morris thumped against the crossbar, and Lockyer threw himself in front of Young's clearance to deflect it into the net. Then a free-kick, where Doughty picked out the unmarked Morris, and he volleyed past Pickford. Everton responded well, with Garner rattling the bar with a header before Calvert-Lewin poked a goal back from close range. The Toffees desperately pushed in the second half, but couldn't manage to test Kaminski.
Everton vs Luton Town
Luton have everyone back in their own half as they continue to protect what would be a precious first-ever Premier League win. Brown does well as he drags Mykolenko out to him and wins a free-kick off the left-back.
Everton vs Luton Town
Everton are very much going for the direct route as Tarkowski sends it long once more. This time, he picks out Onana on the right of the box and he nods it towards Beto, but Bell is there for Luton.
Everton vs Luton Town
WIDE! Tarkowski has played some wonderful long ball over the top today, and this one is no different as he drops it into Calvert-Lewin. He lets it bounce before firing on goal, but he hits the side netting.
Everton vs Luton Town
Mpanzu makes another good interception and drives down the right. His only aim is to keep Everton out of Luton's half by dragging the hosts back towards their own goal.
Everton vs Luton Town
Luton are still standing their ground at the back, and Everton are desperately trying to get it forward. At the moment, they're struggling to string together enough passes to do that.
Everton vs Luton Town
OVER! Everton are upping the pressure here and after the first cross is cleared, the hosts recycle it. Garner lifts it into the far post and Beto thumps a header across goal which sails over the bar.
