Follow live coverage as Liverpool 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:

Pereira’s inswinging corner is put directly into the six-yard box towards Berge, but Alisson makes a clean catch near his own goal-line.

Pereira and Wilson work a short-corner routine but it fails to come off, with the former’s eventual cross blocked, before Robinson’s follow-up effort is put directly behind for a goal-kick.

15:23
SO CLOSE! Wilson steps up and whips his free-kick up and over the wall, but curls his effort just above Alisson’s crossbar - with the goalkeeper flying across his line anyway to cover his angles!

15:23
After a lengthy chat with VAR, it appears Wilson maintained an onside position during the initial pass, which means the passage of play is valid. Robertson is given his marching orders, with Liverpool forced to play the remainder of the game with 10 men, and Fulham are given a free-kick in a dangerous position just outside the penalty area.

15:21
There are discussions being had between the referee and his VAR team, as there was also a potential offside in the build-up, which would potentially erase Robertson’s red card. If Wilson was unable to hold his line, there’s the possibility Liverpool will be able to keep 11 men on the pitch - but it’s a slim chance.

Fulham have now scored the first goal in five of their last six games including today, and have gone on to secure seven points as a result. It’s the second time in-a-row Liverpool have conceded the first goal in the Premier League, but they did manage to pull back a 3-3 draw against Newcastle.

Tete launches a long pass down the right wing, looking to take advantage of the recently returned Robertson, but the Scotland international appears to have shaken off the earlier injury, showing his speed to get ahead of Wilson and pass the ball back to Alisson.

Robertson is able to eventually limp off gingerly, with the medical team continuing to take a look at the left-back on the touchline. He appears to be determined to re-enter the match despite the knock, with Liverpool carrying on with 10 in the meanwhile.

Yellow Card Issa Laye Lucas Jean Diop
Liverpool vs Fulham
15:03
Robertson is down holding his knee in the early stages of the match, after a coming-together with Diop just outside Fulham’s penalty area. The play was initially stopped for offside, but it looks as though the Liverpool full-back will require some medical treatment as well ahead of the restart.

With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let’s take a look at how the two sides are lining up - starting with our hosts!
Liverpool vs Fulham
14:33
Fulham have been impressive since their 4-1 loss at the hands of Wolves in late November, earning hard-fought draws with both Tottenham and Arsenal either side of a comprehensive 3-1 win over Brighton. Sitting comfortably in midtable, three points ahead of both Spurs and Newcastle United in the standings, Marco Silva’s 10th-placed team can afford to look forward instead of back, with Nottingham Forest in fifth just two points away.

Liverpool’s seven-game winning run in all competitions came to an end 10 days ago, as Arne Slot’s side followed up their 2-0 victory over Manchester City with a 3-3 draw at Newcastle United. Still first in the table and four points ahead of second-placed Chelsea - having played a match fewer - the Reds got back to winning ways in midweek Champions League action, beating Girona 1-0, to maintain their perfect start in Europe.
