Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Manchester United 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:

Ouattara is causing all sorts of problems on the left flank, but Mazraoui is able to stand his ground and clear the ball for a corner kick. The resulting corner is parried away by Onana for another corner.

CHANCE!!! Kluivert picks up a pass from Ouattara on the left-hand flank before teeing up Semenyo who curls a first time shot past Onana's right-hand post! That would have been some start to the second half for the Cherries!

The half-time whistle blows at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth head into the break with a 1-0 lead over Manchester United. The home side went ahead as Evanilson found Antoine Semenyo with deft backheel before the Ghana international fired a low shot past the hapless Andre Onana. The Red Devils have had opportunities to equalise through Alejandro Garnacho, but the Argentina international has either seen his efforts fly wide of the goal and well saved by Kepa. The Opta predictor currently has Andoni Iraola's side as favourites to take the three points from here with a 70% chance.
