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.

Liverpool vs AFC Bournemouth

There is more uncertainty in the Liverpool area now, as Van Dijk and Alisson can't agree on who should claim possession deep inside their own box. The latter ultimately grasps the ball.

SAVE! Alexander-Arnold seeks redemption for his part in Bournemouth's goal, but is just denied by Neto, who tips his rasping drive from the right byline wide for a corner. Salah had played his colleague in with a neat exchange on the edge of the box, but Liverpool still trail.

Twice, following his error just minutes ago, Alisson claims balls into the box with some authority, as Liverpool aim to settle down and recover from their jittery start to the match. Bournemouth have begun brightly here.

OFF THE BAR! Liverpool almost strike straight back! Meeting an outswinging corner by Robertson near the penalty spot, Van Dijk cleverly contrives a header that loops towards the goalframe and then bounces back and out of immediate danger! What a start at Anfield!

Though the ball finds the back of the Liverpool net via Anthony's boot, following a mix-up involving Alisson and Konate, Bournemouth's early 'goal' is almost immediately ruled out for offside by the VAR. The home side escape!
