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.

Amari’I Bell wears the armband, and Gabriel Osho comes into the backline in place of Tom Lockyer for Luton, who was discharged from hospital earlier this week following his cardiac arrest. Elijah Adebayo’s third-minute goal got the Hatters off to a flying start against Bournemouth prior to the match being abandoned, and leads the line once more with Jacob Brown and former Newcastle winger Andros Townsend flanking him up front.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are seventh in the table, recovering from two three-goal defeats to Tottenham and Everton by handing one out themselves against Fulham last time out. Eddie Howe’s Magpies have been displaced by West Ham’s victory over Manchester United in their corresponding fixture, but three points at Kenilworth Road will take the Toon back into sixth place, and just a point behind Spurs in fifth.

18th-placed Luton come into this game a week on from their last match, away at Bournemouth, being abandoned after Hatters captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. Rob Edwards’ side are five points behind Nottingham Forest on the wrong side of the trapdoor, and need to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later if they’re to avoid being cut adrift.
