Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Southampton 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:

Ipswich do a good job at maintaining the ball, but they fail to create anything with the spell of possession. In the end, Aribo is fouled by Philogene to end the attack.

Delap gets the ball into the box, trying to pick out Philogene. Wellington tracks back, and is able to intercept it and play it to his keeper. However, the Southampton man appears to have hurt himself in the process of breaking up the pass.

Ipswich make a couple of attempts to get a shot off in the Southampton box, but a yellow shirt is able to get in and intercept each time. The hosts are pressing for the winner at this stage, and still have the ball in their opponents' half of the pitch.

A yellow card is awarded to Bednarek, who is turned by Delap and brings his marker down. The worst part of it for Southampton is that Ipswich have a free-kick just outside of their box.

A quick free-kick is taken, allowing Enciso to get a shot off. It is a tame effort in the end, causing no issues for Ramsdale. Another decent chance there for the hosts.

Delap finds space and gets a shot off. Ramsdale is equal to it though, getting down to deny the striker with his leg. It is the best chance of the second half for either team so far.
