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.
Yellow Card Jhon Jader Durán Palacio
We’re only two minutes into added time and it already feels like an age for Brighton. They have endured a long day in the Midlands.
We're going to be in for eight added minutes in this one.
Unai Emery will be pleased as punch with this performance. His opposite number? Not so much.
Substitution Boubacar Bernard Kamara Youri Marion A. Tielemans
Substitution Jack Luca Hinshelwood Carlos Noom Quomah Baleba
Assist Oliver George Arthur Watkins
Save by Martinez! The Aston Villa shotstopper has not had much to do since Watkins got his third, but he gets a good touch now to divert an ambitious Brighton shot by Adingra away.
Yellow Card Kaoru Mitoma
Mitoma sees a shot blocked now, as Brighton continue to toil in pursuit of a second. The Seagulls man has not been at his best today.
