Follow all the action from Portman Road
Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Chelsea 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:
Ipswich Town vs Chelsea
CHANCE FIRED WIDE!! Another chance falls to Chelsea after good work from Madueke who came inside and - surrounded by bodies in the box - laid the ball off for Felix, his shot was blocked and Cucurella fired a half-volley from the left edge of the penalty area wide of the far right post.

NO GOAL!! After a lengthy check, the goal is ruled out for offside. Palmer had pulled onto the right wing, floating a wonderfully weighted cross for Joao Felix at the far post, but the Portugal international had strayed slightly offside before dispatching impressively into the roof of the net. We remain at 1-0.

CHANCE PALMER!! The free-kick is touched to Palmer who wraps his foot around the ball clearing the wall down the left side, it clips the post and comes back out into play. Nkunku can only divert the rebound into Walton's arms.

Free-kick in a very dangerous position for Chelsea. Joao Felix deftly touches the ball on for Nkunku in a central spot, he shifts it out of his feet but is felled just outside the box. Palmer, Joao Felix and Fernadez are over it.

Madueke carries the ball down the right, he has two Ipswich players for company, as he continues to drag it past them, he runs out of room and it goes out harmlessly for a goal kick.

Fernandez and Caicedo are trying to dictate the pace a bit more in the middle of the park, looking after the ball a bit more in possession.
