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.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Wolves have conceded first in nine previous Premier League games this season, winning two, drawing one and losing six. Can they hit back here? It's been an awful start from O'Neil's men.

Wolves fail to make anything of a corner from the right-hand side, then Kouyate catches Sarabia on the follow-though. It's a painful one for the Spaniard, but he's soon back to his feet as Wolves look to work an opening.

Wolves look to hit back immediately following a ponderous start. Cunha races to meet a long ball over the top, and Boly just manages to prod the ball away from him with a desperate lunging challenge – he had to get that right inside his own box!

Now it's Forest's turn to keep possession patiently at the back, with Boly, Niakhate and Murillo shifting it from side to side before the latter works it out to Elanga. Kilman cuts out his low cross before being fouled cheaply by Toffolo deep in Wolves territory.

We're yet to see an attack of note at either end as we pass the 10-minute mark here, with Toti doing well to hold off Williams at the back for Wolves, before Lemina is fouled by Kouyate in midfield.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Hwang has scored seven goals in his last eight Premier League home games, only failing to net in Wolves' dramatic 2-1 win over Tottenham in this run. Last time out against Burnley, he became the fifth Wolves player to score at least 10 Premier League goals at Molineux, after Raul Jimenez (22), Ruben Neves (14), Steven Fletcher (11) and Diogo Jota (10).
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
It's been a slow start here, with both teams happy to sit back in their defensive shapes when out of possession. Wolves were slightly fortunate to take advantage of a Burnley error for Hwang's goal in their midweek win, and they'll need to move the ball a little quicker here.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Gibbs-White is being loudly booed by the home fans upon every touch. He made his debut for Wolves as a 16-year-old but left under something of a cloud last year, and there is no love lost between him and the club's supporters.
