Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Arsenal 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:

CLOSE! Martinelli races past his man down the left before lofting a cross to the back post, where Havertz rises well to meet it. The forward powers a header goalwards, but Vicario does brilliantly to get down to his right to keep it out before his defenders scramble clear the danger.

Saliba receives the first yellow card of the game for delaying the restart by picking up the ball following the referee's whistle for a free-kick.

White gives the ball away in a really dangerous position, but Johnson takes far too long with his shot and the chance to let fly comes and goes. That's a big let-off for the Gunners.

Arsenal against Tottenham is the fixture to have seen the most penalties awarded (26) and scored (24) in Premier League history. Indeed, of all Premier League fixtures to have seen at least 100 goals scored, the north London derby has seen the highest percentage netted from the spot (12.9 percent - 24/186).

10 minutes on the clock at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the hosts have probably shaded proceedings so far. Arsenal are yet to really get going in attack.

Arsenal have won their last two Premier League away games against Tottenham, as many as in their previous 17 such visits (six draws, nine defeats). They last won three consecutive away North London derbies between January 1987 and September 1988.

There's another nervy moment for Arsenal as Kulusevski's whipped cross goes through a crowded box, somehow missing everybody. It could catch Raya out, but the Arsenal goalkeeper is alert to palm away from danger.

SAVE! The first shot on target of the game falls to Kulusevski after Son cuts the ball back to the Sweden international, though the shot from a tight angle is beaten behind for a corner by Raya.

Saka swings an early corner in, but the delivery is poor and cleared by the first man. It's been a front-footed start from the visitors, however.

Injuries and suspensions mean Mikel Arteta is forced into two changes to his starting XI. The suspended Rice is replaced by Martinelli as Trossard slides back into midfield, while Jorginho comes in for Odegaard. Saka scored home and away against Spurs last season and will once again start on the right-wing looking to make it three derby scoring appearances in a row.

Ange Postecoglou makes four changes from the side that was beaten 2-1 at Newcastle United last time out, with Solanke returning from injury up top while Johnson joins him in the front three. Odobert and Sarr drop to the bench, while Bentancur and Van de Ven come in for Dragusin and the injured Yves Bissouma. Richarlison is also absent.

The Gunners can move two points behind leaders Manchester City with a derby win here, though they are facing somewhat of an injury crisis with injuries to captain Martin Odegaard, as well as other notable players such as Takehiro Tomiyasu and new signing Mikel Merino, while Declan Rice also misses out through suspension. They finished 23 points ahead of Spurs last season, though, and will be hoping to achieve similar this term with a Premier League trophy to boot this time.

It's nearly time for the North London Derby, and the hosts will fancy their chances of claiming the local bragging rights against their injury-hit rivals in front of what is sure to be a vociferous home crowd. However, Spurs have endured a mixed start to the campaign, winning one, drawing one and losing another of their opening three matches, meaning they head into this game in 13th, though they can move level on points with Arsenal with a victory here.
