Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth 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:

AFC Bournemouth vs Ipswich Town

Ipswich have done it! They have picked up their first win of 2025 in the Premier League and it was a hard-fought but well-deserved three points despite xG swinging in Bournemouth’s favour 1.86 to 1.18. McKenna’s side feel to 12 points from safety after Wolves’ win last night, but as they muted Bournemouth’s attacking threat in the first half, they also produced a goal themselves. Ensico the provider with a mazy run, and Broadhead the punisher. It meant they went into the break with a lead, and they would add to it on the hour mark through Delap. It was another quality goal with the move starting with Palmer and ending with the forward smashing a shot past Kepa. Their first win would not come easy, as Evanilson was the quickest to react to Palmer’s spill to half the deficit but the Tractor Boys held on to close the gap to nine points from Wolves. Their next game? Wolves at home.

Kepa came up for the free-kick; it is always exciting but Ouattara was the man to meet the cross and he headed over. That will be the last kick of the game surely.

I am sure Palmer will see a lot of the ball in these final three minutes, he has hugged the ball at every opportunity he has gotten. A heavy pass rolls all the way through to him and he took the invitation easily to kill as much time as possible.

Semenyo flicks a header goalwards but Palmer falls on it to waste time. As he gets up, the board shows six more minutes left to play.

Ipswich are still managing to create chances. Taylor is set up on the edge of the box and he hits it first time but it is wild and goes over.
