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:

Things might get even worse for Spurs here with Van de Ven down. Romero has already gone off injured, and it looks like Postecoglou's other first-choice centre-back will also have to take his leave.

This will do absolutely nothing to alleviate the pressure on Postecoglou. It appeared his team was well on the way to three huge points when they were 2-0 up, but it looks like they have thrown it away.

Van de Ven gets up well to meet Porro's free-kick delivery from the right, though he can only nod well wide of the target. To their credit, the Spurs response to Chelsea's leveller has been solid.

Palmer has been directly involved in 37 Premier League goals in 2024 (24 goals, 13 assists), now the outright most in a calendar year by a Chelsea player in the competition.

It has now been 30 minutes since Tottenham last attempted a shot in this game. Their attacking threat has completely dwindled, and it's Chelsea who now look the more likely to go on and win the game.

Now it's Tottenham's turn to find a response. They've been criticised for their mental fragility of late, and it appears those problems have come back to haunt them again.

Palmer now holds the joint-best 100% penalty conversion record in Premier League history (11/11 - level with Yaya Toure).
