Follow live coverage as Fulham face Crystal Palace 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:

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

It ends 2-0 for Crystal Palace, who get a goal in either half to come out on top in this London derby, and put an end to their six-game winless run against Fulham. On the balance of play, the vicotry is certainly merited for the visitors, who looked more dangerous when they were attacking. Fulham will have to disappointed with their performance, as they ended up with zero shots on target throughout the match. Both sides ended up with 10 attempts in the game, but half of Palace's were on target. Nevertheless, Palace will come away with three points. They finished with an xG of 1.22 to Fulham's 0.23. That is all we have for you today. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to tune into this live text commentary. All the best, and until next time.

Willian gets a chance off the corner, as the ball falls to the Brazilian outside of the box. His attempt is deflected onto Lukic, and is easily grabbed by Henderson.

And that was the chance for the hosts, as a great free-kick is missed by Jimenez, and as a result, it goes straight to Henderson. The Mexican just needed something on the ball, and things could have been very different.

Bassey is brought down by Mateta, with the referee blowing for a Fulham free-kick. Can they finally create something?

Jimenez tried to get a ball into the box, but Henderson comes out and comfortably gathers the cross.

Going into the final five minutes, Fulham have still failed to get an attempt on target. That will be something Silva will be very disappoitned in, if anything. There are still a few minutes to change that, but it is still not a good look.
