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.

Sheffield United vs Chelsea
Chelsea’s absolutely unbelievable come-from-behind victory against Manchester United on Thursday - thanks to two goals from Cole Palmer at the 100th and 101st minutes - got Mauricio Pochettino’s side back to winning ways after a rather disappointing 2-2 draw with Burnley last weekend. Victors in two of their last five Premier League games - but undefeated in that time - a win for the Blues could see them go as close as just two points back of Erik Ten Hag’s side in 6th with eight fixtures remaining.
Sheffield United vs Chelsea
Bottom of the Premier League and 11 points adrift of safety, Sheffield United are running out of time to try and mount a potential great escape. The Blades had a draw with Liverpool until the last quarter-hour in their match on Thursday, before falling to a 3-1 defeat; a common occurrence as Chris Wilder’s side has also lost leads in two of their last three matches, amassing just two points in that time against Bournemouth and Fulham.
