Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Ipswich Town 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:

Hutchinson lofts a cross into the area, and Johnstone flaps at the ball under no pressure and only manages to half-clear the ball. Luckily for him, Clarke couldn’t stretch to get the ball and it was cleared.

Ipswich have the first corner of the game, after a period of sustained pressure inside the Wolves half. They will be nervous trying to defend set-pieces, given their terrible record from them.

Doherty has committed two fouls in the same amount of minutes, it could already be said that he’s walking a slight tightrope and he’ll have to be careful not to be booked.

It has been an edgy start here at Molineux, which was to be expected between these two. Neither side has created a meaningful sight at goal yet.

There have already been a few unsavoury challenges going in and around the centre circle. Simon Hooper might be a busy man today in this high-stakes game.

Wolves have had a change of captain after the post-match shenanigans of Lemina against West Ham, with Semedo being given the armband on a permanent basis. Both of them start here as Gary O’Neil makes only one change to his starting lineup. That change sees Joao Gomes drop out through injury, with Bellegarde replacing him in the attacking midfielder spot. For Ipswich, a few changes have been made after their loss to Bournemouth. Clarke is back in the starting lineup to replace Johnson, Cajuste comes back into the midfield, meaning Taylor drops to the bench and Burns replaces Szmodics in attack. Morsy captains the away side.

Kieran McKenna, similarly to O’Neil, will be disappointed with how the first period of the season has gone. Ipswich have won one of their 15 games so far, with their most recent result being a late loss at home to Bournemouth. They are currently 18th in the Premier League, and the only thing stopping them from being lower is the fact that they’ve managed to pick up six points from draws alone. Their team has shown glimpses of real quality, but they need to pick up another win soon to ease relegation fears.

Gary O’Neil’s team started this Premier League campaign horribly, but he will be pleased that his side have shown a desire to win games and have been putting in somewhat impressive performances. They have won only two of their 15 games so far, with three draws under their belts as well. The consensus around Wolves is that they don’t deserve to be down in the bottom three, but with some questionable VAR decisions going against them and a manager on the brink of being sacked, the mood is low around the club.

The last time these sides faced each other was in the EFL Cup, with Ipswich winning the encounter 3-2 in September 2023. The two sides had only met in the Championship before that match, with the last game being in 2018. Wolves have become a Premier League regular and have been in the top flight ever since then, whereas Ipswich have had a longer journey to be here today, as they returned to the peak of English football this season.
