Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Fulham 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:

Yellow Card Tyler Shaan Adams

Willian is brought on as Fulham go for broke. Lukic goes off as Silva rolls the dice for the last five minutes. Willina is yet to register a goal since rejoining the London club.

Brilliant defending at the back post from Kerkez, who watches the long cross from Robinson and does not buckle under pressure from Traore who seemed to have the run on him. The Hungary international heads behind him and away.

EXCELLENT SAVE FROM LENO KEEPS FULHAM IN IT!! Evanilson got the better of Bassey and got inside his man inthe left channel. As he moved into the area, Leno raced out to meet him and without hesitation, pushed the ball away from his feet with both palms as the Brazilian looked to round him.

Iraola's team are defending well, but their out ball is increasingly a pumped ball down the channel for Ouattara or Semenyo to chase. They need to protect the ball better in possession.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

The home side are having to defend more and more. They do not want to become entrenched in their own half. Ten plus minutes is a long time to be defending your goal without reprieve.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

Robinson digs out yet another cross from the left depsite close attention from two Bournemouth players. The ball bounces up at Cairney just outside the penalty area and makes it just too awkward to hit the volley and it is never going to baet the keeper with such little pace on it.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

A cross into the box from Robinson searches out Traore, but the musclebound winger can't get in front of his man at the back post. There will be a lot more crosses before the final whistle you feel.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

Cairney feeds Lukic around 20 yards out and central, but the midfielder concentrates a little too much on getting his effort on target and loses any fizz in the shot. It is caught easily by a falling Arrizabalaga.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

IWOBI FORCES A SAVE!! That was exquisite from Iwobi. Centrally just outside the box, he checks inside the sliding defender and hits a right-foot shot that was heading for the left corner of the net but for a sprawling save from Arrizabalaga. Good effort from the ex-Arsenal attacker.
