Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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:

Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:33
Robinson is now down after coming together with Chalobah, but once again the pause is brief, and the American is back on his feet.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:31
CLOSE! Guehi rises highest at the back post, beating Jimenez to the header but it goes wide! He will know that he should’ve done better with that chance, it was in a similar position to the goal he scored last time out against Wolves.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:30
Smith-Rowe is back to his feet after being grounded for a couple of minutes by that Lacroix tackle. The game is back under way.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:28
Wow! Lacroix has just surely made a goal-stopping tackle on Smith-Rowe. The winger was about to shoot towards goal before the Frenchman flew in with a perfectly-timed challenge to win the ball back.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:26
The home fans give the referee a sarcastic jeer as he gives a free-kick their way, following a foul on Chalobah. They feel that he has been treating their team unfairly so far.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:26
Devenny gets caught with the ball under his feet in midfield, and that allows Fulham to get a couple of shots away from the edge of the box. Luckily for the home side, none of them are troubling and the brief period of pressure passes.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:23
Just over 20 minutes have now passed in this game, and so far there has only been one big chance. Other than that, it has been a fairly even game with both sides getting up the pitch well. The only thing separating these two is Fulham’s passing has been slightly more accurate in attack.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:21
Guehi does well in the middle to win the ball back with a stretching tackle, before Sarr takes over and tries to play Mateta in behind. The Fulham defenders smell the danger and take care of it.

15:18
Fulham get in behind the Palace defence again, and it’s Nelson who shoots for the second time in as many minutes. This time the shot isn’t as close and it rolls past Henderson’s left post.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:16
SAVED! Nelson broke into the Palace box and strikes towards goal with his right foot. Henderson sticks out a leg and keeps the score 0-0 with a wonderful save. Nelson has to do better with that chance.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:16
It has been a quick start to this game, but the pace of the game has slowed slightly as Fulham enjoy a period of calm possession, and Palace are letting them have it.

15:12
Mateta goes down in the box, after beating Bassey to a long ball. He battles against Leno to get to the bouncing ball and goes over but it’s not enough for a penalty.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:11
Fulham get forward well again, this time on the left side through Robinson. If it wasn’t for his poor final ball, Fulham may have had a real chance as they broke into the Palace third.

15:08
Devenny has had a good start to the game in midfield, and he has a great partner in there today. It’s not ideal circumstances for Palace, but having Guehi in the middle to coach Devenny through the game is a positive.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:07
Palace finally make it out of their own half, following a Mateta run that began from just outside his box. Moments later, Andersen misses a long pass which allows Mateta in for a second. Andersen then does well to get back and get a foot in.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
15:04
Fulham have the first corner of the game, with Tete making his way down the right under no pressure at all. It’s a strong start from the away side.

KICK-OFF! Crystal Palace get the ball rolling and the game is under way!

The teams are out on the pitch, and we’re nearly ready for kick-off here in London!

Oliver Glasner names a different-look Crystal Palace side, who are swamped with injuries to key players and a suspension for Will Hughes. The key talking point for their side is 21-year-old Justin Devenny starting for the first time in the Premier League. Due to the lack of first-teamers available to Glasner, a defender is being played in midfield, next to Kamada. It is unclear whether that will be Guehi or Chalobah who will shift into the middle as Palace look to fill a gap. Doucoure is an option off the bench, but he isn’t fit enough to start yet. As for Fulham, Marco Silva has named an unchanged side after their win against Brentford. Their hero in that game, Harry Wilson, is on the bench. Andersen starts in defence against his former club, after moving West of London in the summer. Also on the bench is Sessegnon, who was heavily linked with Palace in the transfer window, and even trialled with the Eagles before returning to his boyhood club.

CRYSTAL PALACE (3-4-2-1): Dean Henderson; Trevoh Chalobah, Maxence Lacroix, Nathaniel Clyne; Tyrick Mitchell, Justin Devenny, Marc Guehi, Daniel Munoz; Daichi Kamada, Ismaila Sarr; Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Marco Silva, unlike his counterpart, will be pleased with how his side has begun their domestic season. Fulham sit ninth in the Premier League and have won more games than they have drawn or lost. They recently won against Brentford in spectacular fashion, netting twice in added time to steal three points from their local rivals. Fulham will see this as a game that they should be winning, after already picking up impressive results against Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Leicester.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
14:42
Oliver Glasner’s team has started poorly in this Premier League campaign; he will be disappointed with the fact that his side are still not picking up maximum points in games where they perhaps deserve to. They have only won one game and have drawn four, and they are currently 17th in the league table. The mental block of getting their first win was taken care of against Tottenham Hotspur but after a disappointing draw against Wolves, Palace desperately need another three points. The home team will see this game as a winnable fixture, but they are without key players, so the squad will have to be on top form.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
14:37
The last time these sides faced each other in the Premier League, the points were shared in a 1-1 draw in April. This was amidst a great run of Palace form, where they won relentlessly until the end of the season. Since then, a tricky transfer window and a poor start to this season has the Eagles worried. Fulham started the season well and historically fared well against Crystal Palace. In other head-to-head meetings, Fulham have won or drawn the last five meetings. Fulham are competing inside the top half of the Premier League, whereas Palace are hanging dangerously close to the relegation zone.
