Follow all the action from Anfield
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur
With the Premier League falling sharply down Tottenham’s list of priorities, it would not be a surprise to see Postecoglou pick a side today with one eye on their Europa League semi-final first-leg tie against Bodo/Glimt. Mathematically safe from relegation with five games left to play, dropped points for Everton and Manchester United earlier in the weekend present Spurs with the chance to move up the table, with a win enough to jump both clubs and get into 14th position.
