Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Burnley today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:

Burnley start with four of their summer signings so far here at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Walker, Hartman, Anthony and Dubravka all start for the Clarets. Perhaps most importantly, Esteve starts at the back – someone who signed a new deal in the recent weeks after much speculation of a move away.

Tottenham make three changes to the side that faced PSG on Wednesday night. After the quick turnaround, both Bentancur and Palhinha drop to the bench, with Gray and Bergvall starting together. The other change is due to the tactical switch from a three back to a back four – Johnson comes in for Danso. Kudus is the only summer arrival to start here for Spurs.

Burnley on the other hand come of the back of a remarkable season, where they were promoted to the Premier League. Across the whole league season, they only conceded 16 goals – an incredible achievement. However, goalkeeper James Trafford has moved on to Manchester City. This season is expected to be about survival, however the whole Burnley camp will see that as a huge possibility.

Unlike most, Tottenham have already played a competitive game this season. It ended in heart break, after a late collapse v PSG led to them losing the UEFA Super Cup final. After a 17th place finish last season, manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked by the club. Former Brentford boss Thomas Frank has come into the club to take over, and will be hoping for a much better finish than 17th this time out.
