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 Town vs Southampton

It is a battle between the bottom two teams in the league, with Ipwsich on 16 points, and Southampton on six. Kieran McKenna's side have lost their last three domestic matches, including a 4-1 reverse to leaders Liverpool last time out. Only their opponents and Everton have scored less than their 21, which is not a promising look for the Tractor Boys. Their last Premier League win came at the end of 2024, a shock 2-0 victory over Chelsea. It has been four without a win since. Things are more dire for Southampton though, as they are 11 points from safety, and are on a winless run of 13, losing 11. The Saints have been defeated in each of their last six Premier League outings, the most recent one being a 3-1 home loss to Newcaslte. Having scored the fewest and conceded the most at this stage, it is already looking likely that Ivan Juric's charges are set for an immediate return to the Championship.
