Follow all the action from Stamford Bridge
Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Liverpool 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:

EARLY CHANCE! Salah dribbles with close control into the penalty area, drawing both Cucurella and Madueke towards him before playing a pass between the pair for Jones, who promptly returns it to the Egypt international. From the byline, Salah attempts to centre a pass into the six-yard box by Sanchez dives off his line and claims the ball with one hand!

Off the back of guaranteeing the Premier League title, Liverpool make six alterations from the side that beat Tottenham 5-1 last weekend. Tsimikas replaces Robertson at left-back, while Quansah takes over from Konate in the middle of the defence. A new-look midfield sees Jones, Endo and Elliott come in from the start instead of Mac Allister, the uninvolved Ryan Gravenberch and Szoboszlai, and Jota leads the line in attack instead of Diaz.
