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.

After a rare moment of threat on the break, Burnley get bogged down just outside Fulham's area and eventually have to work the ball backwards - they've yet to produce a shot on goal today.

Taylor is on his toes to cut the ball out deep in Burnley's defensive third, conceding only a throw-in. The Clarets have defended diligently so far, and they only have a few minutes to hold out before a hard-earned break.

Wilson whips in a delicious delivery from the right, but Burnley just manage to clear their lines. Then, O'Shea steps in to prod a dangerous throughball behind. Fulham are running out of time if they are to make their supremacy pay off during this first half.

From a tight angle on the right, Muniz tries his luck with an early strike towards the near post; however, his powerful shot only finds the side-netting and fails to trouble Trafford.

At the end of a quick counter-attack, Amdouni lays the ball off to Bruun Larsen on the left side of Fulham's area, but the latter fails to make the most of a promising position by cutting the ball back into heavy traffic. Then, Beyer brings down Pereira and all Burnley's momentum is lost.

After a smart reverse pass by Iwobi opens up space on the left side of Burnley's box, Robinson twice tries to cut the ball back from the byline, and both Beyer and O'Shea are required to shut him down. Then, Trafford has to scramble away the subsequent corner-kick at his near post - Fulham's pressure is growing!

After his earlier coming-together with Bassey, Brownhill is left on the turf again; this time, Joao Palhinha sends him toppling over with a typically rugged challenge in midfield. As a result, the game is halted for Burnley's skipper to receive treatment.
