Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Manchester City 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:

City, meanwhile, are one of just three sides still unbeaten in the new Premier League season and sit top of the table by a point after five matches. Pep Guardiola’s side did need a last-ditch John Stones equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw with Arsenal last time out, but will be keen to return to winning ways in the league after an EFL Cup victory over Watford in midweek.
