Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Chelsea today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Palmer is the first player to score 12 successive penalties in the Premier League since Callum Wilson in October 2023 - he now holds the best 100% conversion rate from the spot in the competition's history.

CHELSEA HAVE ANOTHER PENALTY!!! Chelsea hit Spurs on the counter, but it appears the attack has lost momentum when Sancho can't put Palmer through on goal. Eventually he does get it to Palmer, who is inexplicably sent tumbling to the turf by Sarr with the Chelsea man heading away from goal. It's another daft challenge, and Palmer will have the chance to kill this game off...

If they can see this out, Chelsea would be the first team to come from two or more goals behind to win a London derby in the Premier League since Arsenal beat Tottenham 5-2 in February 2012.

Van de Ven is indeed forced off, with Gray on in his place. When it rains, it pours for Postecoglou and Tottenham.
