Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Fulham 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:

For Fulham, unsurprisingly, it is the same starting eleven that came out on top in that pulsating encounter with Liverpool. Head Coach, Marco Silva, has resisted the temptation to tinker after such a good showing in their last match, and sticks with the in-form striker Muniz in favour of Jimenez up front.

Bournemouth boss, Andoni Iraola has made just one change from the 2-2 draw with West Ham, with Senesi drafted into the defence at the expense of Zabarnyi, who is demoted to the bench. The Cherries will once again look towards the Braziliance of their talismanic number nine, Evanilson to supply the goods with top-scorer, Justin Kluivert still missing through injury.

Fulham are the epitome of inconsistency at the moment. Starting with the 2-1 win over Forest in February, the Cottagers have played out a win-loss league sequence that has spanned seven matches. They will be keen to avoid that recurring nightmare this evening as they follow last week’s fantastic 3-2 win over the league’s leaders Liverpool. A win would keep alive hopes of European football next season and would see them just three points adrift of a place in the top six.

Bournemouth are in the middle of a depressingly bleak run of home results, suffering four straight league defeats at the Vitality Stadium. They haven’t won on home turf since the January 5-0 battering of Nottingham Forest. The incentive to beat tonight’s opponents Fulham is clear; they can leap up to eighth place in the table, taking the London side’s place, whilst also leapfrogging Brighton in the process.
