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.

Newcastle United vs Luton Town

Luton are in good form in the Premier League and have won three of their last five matches to take themselves out of the relegation zone and into 17th position. Securing two consecutive triumphs over Newcastle and Sheffield United at the start of the run, the Hatters lost 3-2 to Chelsea before collecting a point against Burnley. However, Rob Edwards' men returned to winning ways with their most emphatic win of the season in their previous match, with a hat-trick from Elijah Adebayo and a goal from Chiedozie Ogbene helping them secure a 4-0 win over European hopefuls Brighton. It was a special victory for Luton, with captain Tom Lockyer making his first appearance at Kenilworth Road since suffering a cardiac arrest in December's game at Bournemouth. The visitors will now be looking to complete a famous double over Newcastle for the first time since the 1937-38 campaign.

Newcastle ended a four-match losing run in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Aston Villa in their last outing. The Villans had won 16 of their previous 17 games at home in the top flight, but a brace from Fabian Schar and an own goal from Alex Moreno helped the Magpies to a comfortable three-goal lead before Ollie Watkins netted a consolation. A third straight-away victory in all competitions lifted Eddie Howe's men into eighth position. Newcastle are 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, meaning their chances of qualifying for the Champions League for the second successive season is very unlikely. However, they will still be hoping that a place in the Europa League or Europa Conference League is in their grasp. Despite this, the Magpies must improve their form at St. James' Park, with the hosts losing back-to-back fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.
