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.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

SAVED!!! Steele's poor clearance is easily cut out by Sarabia, who brings the ball back towards the Brighton box. He cuts inside and shoots low, but Steele redeems himself by getting down to make the save and hold the ball!

BLOCKED!!! The initial Wolves corner is cleared, but Ait-Nouri fires the ball straight back into the danger area. Neto brings it down and is eventually able to carve out shooting space, but his powerful, low effort goes behind after a timely block from Ferguson!

CHANCE!!! Cunha breaks down the right and fires a teasing cross towards Hwang at the far post, but Webster slides in well to scythe the ball behind and prevent a tap-in for the Wolves substitute!

Kilman strides out of defence and tries to switch play to the left as Wolves counter, but the ever-energetic March races back to intercept his attempted throughball, denying Matheus a clear run at Veltman.

A mid-air clash of heads between Kilman and Ferguson leaves the Brighton substitute worse off, and he leaves the field for a concussion check just as soon as he came on!

Enciso and Dawson are caught in a tangle on the near touchline, with the Wolves defender penalised and the Brighton playmaker staying down to receive treatment, allowing for a rare pause in this incredibly pacy game.
