Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Crystal Palace 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:

The last of the three changes is Toti coming off the pitch for Bellegarde to join the action. He has been targeted by Palace, so O’Neil will want to switch things up on that side.

The second change is one that sees Doyle make way for Lemina, who was a doubt to be in the squad for this game. Doyle has had a quiet game, and Lemina replaces him.

Wolves respond with a triple change. The first sees Sarabia come off for Guedes. Sarabia has missed two big chances to go ahead, and a change was required in attack.

WHAT A MISS! Sarr misses a huge chance to double the lead! Nketish works well down the left and cuts the ball back from the byline. Sarr leans back way too much and sends the shot far over the bar. That could have been 2-0.

GOOOOAL! Chalobah puts Palace ahead! Kamada laid the ball off to Hughes to cross into the box, which was knocked down by Strand Larsen. Unluckily for him, it falls straight to the feet of Chalobah, who drives the ball into an empty net from a tight angle. 1-0 to Palace!

The passing from both sides in this half has been awful. Neither team can produce a pattern of play that would allow them to open the other team up. They need to tighten up their passing accuracy if either side wants to win this game.

Palace have no problem getting the ball up the pitch, but when they get into the final third, they can’t seem to sort their feet out and lose sight of the opportunity. Poor attacking from them so far in this half.

Now Wolves come forward, and they manage to fashion a cross into the box, which was cleared by Palace. Doyle strikes towards the goal following the header out, but his shot is weak and straight at Henderson.

Wolves are enjoying a period of calm possession, just inside their own half. Palace aren’t pressing, and Wolves haven’t moved the ball forward yet.
