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 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Cunha and Gomes combine to release Neto on the break. He gets into the area and lifts a right-footed cross into the six-yard box, but Patterson gets back to head it clear.

Neto looks to trick his way past Onana on the edge of the box, but the Everton man wins the ball and gets his team moving. A long ball is launched forwards for Danjuma, but Dawson shepherds it back to Sa.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

We've only seen one shot on target – from Everton – so far. This game always looked likely to be tense and cagey, given the tricky predicaments both teams find themselves in.

That's a waste from Everton. Young's corner is floated straight into the hands of Sa, who was unchallenged.

Dobbin faces up Semedo inside the area and looks to beat the full-back on the outside. Semedo gets a touch to the ball and prods it behind for an Everton corner.

Alex Iwobi had appeared in 52 consecutive Premier League games for Everton before being ruled out of this one through injury. Dobbin is looking to fill his boots out wide today, and the Toffees need a big performance from the youngster.

This has been a positive start for Everton. Wolves are struggling to play their way through the Toffees' press, though neither team has shown much quality in the final third.

POST! But wait… the flag is up! Danjuma breaks through on goal as Wolves are caught cold. He looks for the bottom-left corner, but Sa gets a slight touch to divert the ball onto the inside of the post before the flag is belatedly raised. Danjuma and Sa didn't know that would be the case, however!

The game opens up as Bueno is dispossessed and Everton counter, with Dawson heading Danjuma's initial cross away. The hosts keep the pressure on, but Dobbin slices a left-wing delivery behind under no pressure.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves create a three-on-three on the break, but Silva's slack pass is too short for Neto and Branthwaite gets across to cut it out. The visitors regain possession, however, penning Everton back.
