Follow live coverage as Fulham face Southampton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Robinson has created 20 chances from open play in the Premier League this season - the joint-most by any defender (level with Tyrick Mitchell). Meanwhile, play is halted for another head injury to Fernandes, but thankfully he is okay. This came just after Ramsdale was forced into another diving save off a low effort from Iwobi from distance.

Jimenez is booked for a tackle from behind on Ugochukwu. That was a poor challenge as he was not even close to the ball when he made contact with Ugochukwu.

Southampton appeal for a corner after Berge and Ugochukwu collide on the left inside the box before the ball goes out. Berge is down and is in a lot of pain as the medics rush out to take a look at his injury. This does not look good for the Fulham player.
