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.

BIG CHANCE! Dawson is caught beneath Patterson's right-wing cross, allowing Danjuma to meet the ball unmarked with a half-volley from near the penalty spot. He looks destined to score, but he rolls his effort wide of the bottom-right corner!

Bueno gets forward on the underlap before crossing for Neto, who tees up Gomes for a blocked shot. It rebounds back to Neto, who shifts the ball onto his right foot before lifting a wild effort over the bar. At last, some attacking threat from the visitors.

Neto exchanges passes with Semedo and to break in behind Young, but the winger's touch towards the area is far too heavy and Branthwaite can slide in to clear. Wolves' attack has not clicked so far.

We're past the half-hour mark at Goodison, where Wolves are struggling with Everton's physicality. The Toffees will feel they should be ahead after a glaring miss from Tarkowski.

Young's delivery is decent, but Branthwaite's glancing header is always heading off target. Dyche will be pleased with this spell of pressure from Everton, however.

Yellow Card João Victor Gomes da Silva

HUGE CHANCE FOR EVERTON! How is it not 1-0? The hosts win a corner on the left, which is cleared out to Garner. His powerful strike hits Dobbin and forces Sa into a reflex save, before Tarkowski lashes the rebound into the side netting with the goal gaping! There was a suspicion of offside, but he still should have buried that!

Hwang is left in a heap off the pitch following a firm challenge from Patterson near the corner flag. The referee ignores Wolves' appeals for a foul and awards an Everton goal-kick, but that looks to be a sore one for the South Korea international. He's back to his feet after receiving some treatment.
