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.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
In addition to finally scoring a first-half goal today - their first in the Premier League this season - Crystal Palace have now stopped the opposition from scoring during the first half no less than six times in seven league games: no team has done so more often.

Stubborn, patient, and clinical when it counted, Crystal Palace lead by a goal at Old Trafford, where hosts Manchester United have yet to get out of third gear. A superb finish from Andersen separates the sides at half-time, during which Ten Hag must affect a change in his team's lacklustre performance. Palace's rigid defensive display bears all the hallmarks of classic Hodgson, and it is the veteran coach who will be far happier with things as they stand.

In the second of at least three minutes added on for stoppages, United continue their fruitless probing just outside Palace's defensive third; they may need a re-think during the interval.

A trio of ineffective passes by Amrabat lead to Manchester United's latest move breaking down, and the home side seem to lack inspiration today; Palace are keeping them at bay quite comfortably.
