Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Chelsea 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:

Chelsea have experienced a turbulent time themselves in recent seasons, but finally things seem to be settling down under new boss Enzo Maresca, who has picked up where the now-departed Mauricio Pochettino left off at the back end of last season with a solid start to life at Stamford Bridge. The Blues currently sit sixth, but a win here would take them all the way up to third, leaving Champions League qualification firmly in their sights.

The tumultuous reign of Erik ten Hag finally came to an end earlier this week after a shocking start to this season, one that sees them languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League having played nine games. Sporting's Ruben Amorim will take over on November 11, but until then, former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy will be in the dugout. His very brief reign got off to a strong start in midweek as the Red Devils thumped Leicester City 5-2 in the EFL Cup, and he'll be hoping for a similar result from his first Premier League game.
