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.

OVER! The resulting corner is swung in by Doughty, and his out-swinging cross picks out Lockyer in the middle. He rises high to thump a header towards goal, but it flies over the bar.

Luton are starting to grow into this game, and Bell plays a good reverse pass into Doughty on the left. He holds the ball up instead of putting it into the box, but does manage to win a corner.

Down the other end, Morris holds the ball up before teeing up Ogbene for another driving run down the left. He pulls it back to the penalty spot towards Brown, but Onana gets back in time to hook it away.

WIDE! Everton miss another good chance! They knock it neatly down the left, and Mykolenko flicks it to Onana. He tries to whip a shot towards the far bottom corner, but just can’t get it on target.

Onana finds another pocket of space in midfield and he floats a lovely pass out to Garner on the right. He plays a dangerous low ball across the six-yard box, but nobody’s there for Everton.

CHANCE! It’s more good play from Everton as Onana threads it through to Doucoure. He can’t get a sight of goal so knocks it back for Gueye on the edge of the box, but he fires his first-time shot wide of the near post.
Everton vs Luton Town
WIDE! Luton are wide open at the back and Doucoure switches play wonderfully out to Garner in acres of space down the right. He cuts onto his left foot and then tries to place it, but instead curls it wide of the far post.

Luton are winless in their six league games against Everton (D3 L3), with this the first such meeting between the sides since a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park in March 1992.

It’s a good, darting run from Ogbene down the left, and he pulls it back to Nakamba when he spots him in space on the edge of the box. He leans back as he takes the shot though, and it’s always rising over the bar.
Everton vs Luton Town
SAVE! It’s lovely work from Everton down the left, but Mykolenko’s cross is put out from a throw-in. The left-back gets it straight back from Doucoure and this time picks out a good ball, but Calvert-Lewin’s header is straight at Kaminski.
