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
OFF THE BAR!!! Sarr rises highest in the box to meet a Son corner delivery from the left, bu he can only send his header off the top of the crossbar and over for a goal-kick. That's a huge chance for Spurs!

Caicedo is a very lucky boy to avoid any punishment after catching Sarr on the ankle with his studs. Quite how he's not even been booked there is a bit of a mystery.

FORSTER TO THE RESCUE! Palmer has far too much space, and it opens up for him to smash goalwards from just outside the box. His effort flies towards the bottom corner, only for Forster to leap to his left to save. He palms it to Neto, who cuts in and tries to squeeze one in at the near post, but Forster is again there to make the stop.

Sarr goes in the book for catching Cucurella with a late challenge.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
It's been a frenzied game so far, and you'd imagine both managers will be hoping their respective teams can exert a bit more control on proceedings. It looked like Spurs could run away with it after Kulusevski made it 2-0, but the Chelsea response has been decent.

If Romero ends up missing more time, that'll be a serious blow for Spurs. Tottenham have averaged 1.63 points per game across their eight previous Premier League matches this season when Van de Ven and Romero have both started, compared to 1.17 points across their other six games this term.

CLOSE! Son nearly restores Spurs' two-goal advantage as he gets in down the left before cutting in and firing goalwards. Unfortunately for the hosts, the winger's strike ends up flying over the crossbar.

This game is Sancho's 67th Premier League appearance, and his goal here means he has now scored in two matches in a row in the competition for the very first time.
