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.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham United

Phillips is fouled, yet as he's down, Dominguez tries to wrestle the ball free. It's a classic game-slowing tactic, yet the Manchester City loanee takes exception and shoves the Argentinian. All parties are booked, including Coufal who had some unsavoury thoughts as well.

Awoniyi makes way for Divock Origi. His goal is the difference maker so far. If he can keep firing, Forest will no doubt feel better about the looming questions of survival amidst the bottom half scrummage.

Up the other end, Murillo lofts over a delightful ball in the channel for Hudson-Odoi. He cuts back inside and crosses for Awoniyi, but the forward gets under it with his header.

Forest don't deal with possession on the edge of their box and Bowen bursts out. He forces another simple stop from Sels. That said, it's encouraging for fans of the East-London outfit.

The resulting free kick is deep in Ward-Prowse country, yet he can't get the dip and swerve right from just outside the box. It has Sels flying, but still clears the crossbar comfortably.

While they look to come from behind - maybe Bowen might be the talisman. He has netted on 11 occasions. He is tied for fifth for goals scored in the league in 2023/2024.
