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.

Chris Wood was the hero as his late header secured Nottingham Forest's first points of the Premier League season. The substitute headed the winner in the 89th minute after Gustavo Hamer's debut goal cancelled out Taiwo Awoniyi's early header. Despite a spirited effort at the City Ground, Sheffield United remain pointless after their opening two games.

The ball is swung into the Forest box, but after receiving a timely shout from a team-mate, Aurier lets it run behind for a goal kick. The hosts are almost there.

Just 60 seconds remain and United have the ball, but they need to get it forward and into the Forest penalty area.

Chance! The hosts are very much in control of proceedings as the clock ticks down. The ball is fizzed across the box towards Elanga, but the ball ricochets against him and over the bar.

What an impact by Wood! Introduced for Awoniyi, he took just five minutes to make a significant impact - one that could have earned his team all three points.
