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.

The hosts will know they got away with one there. A real lack of communication between their defenders was almost punished, and could have cost them the game.

CHANCE! Forest are almost a punished for a real defensive mix-up! McKenna and Worrall get in each other's way as they go for the same ball, enabling Traore to race away. However, Turner comes to the hosts' rescue with fine reflexes to deny the United forward.

A nervy moment for Forest as Turner is unable to gather the ball under pressure. But the goalkeeper was fouled and the referee penalises the visitors.

The Blades have not recorded a draw in any of their last 25 Premier League outings. As things stand, that streak will end here.
