Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
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:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
PENALTY TO CHELSEA!!! Sancho feeds the ball into the path of Caicedo, who latches onto the pass in the box. Bissouma comes flying in and makes a ridiculous challenge, wiping out Caicedo and giving the referee no chance but to point to the spot. This is a huge chance for Chelsea to level!

Gusto stings the palms of Forster with a ferocious long-range effort as Chelsea again threaten. The Spurs goalkeeper could be in for a busy remaining 33 or so minutes.

Postecoglou won't be best pleased with how his team have started this second half, and he may look to make further changes to try and stem the tide that's been visible since the restart.

JUST WIDE! Cucurella lays the ball back for Fernandez, who looks to pick out the far corner with a curling effort. Unfortunately for Chelsea, the ball doesn't quite bend enough and flies just past the right post. This has been a really strong start to the second half for the visitors, though they remain behind.

Deputising for the injured Guglielmo Vicario, Forster has made numerous excellent saves in this game to protect his side's lead.

CHANCE! Chelsea are nearly level moments after the restart, with Sancho linking up with Cucurella. The ball ends up at the feet of the former Manchester United winger, but his poke goalwards from close range is tipped away by Forster.
