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
Everton are searching for a goal that would take them into the break level. They're switching it from side to side, and Mykolenko finally finds some space, but Kaminski plucks his cross straight out of the air.
Everton vs Luton Town
There are big shouts for a handball from the home fans and players as it strikes Bell. He was stood very close to Garner with his arm low by his side, and the referee gives a shake of his head.

BLOCK! We're into six minutes of added time after that VAR check, and Everton win a free-kick on the left. Kaminski doesn't get any distance on his punched clearance and Garner hits it on the volley as it drops. Burke blocks it in front of the line.
Everton vs Luton Town
THE GOAL STANDS! Everton have their first home goal of the season! Burke was leaning slightly to the left, and it's his shoulder that was playing Calvert-Lewin onside. It's 2-1!
Everton vs Luton Town
VAR is checking two things on this goal. The first is whether or not there was a foul on Burke in the build-up, and that's cleared up pretty quickly. The second is whether or not Calvert-Lewin is offside. It's a tight call, and it's taking some time to figure out.
Everton vs Luton Town
Everton are still seeing a lot of the ball, but they're finding it difficult to break down Luton. Tarkowski lifts another long ball over the top that forces Calvert-Lewin wide, which means that nobody is in the box for the hosts again.

OFF THE BAR! Everton work it well down their left once more, and McNeil floats a great cross towards the far post. Garner darts forward to meet it and thumps a header on goal. Kaminski is beaten, but it smacks off the crossbar.
Everton vs Luton Town
Gueye finds himself in a pocket of space just outside the box and shapes to shoot before deciding against it. Instead, he touches it out to Mykolenko, but nobody is in the middle for the hosts to meet his cross.

The rain is coming down even heavier now, and the slick surface is causing a few problems. Morris nods it forward for Ogbene, and Young's pass almost plays in the winger, but he manages to get it back to Pickford.
