Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Ipswich Town 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:

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town

The full-time whistle blows at St James’ Park as Newcastle United brush aside Ipswich Town 3-0. The result means the Tractor Boys are officially relegated directly back to the Championship, joining the likes of Southampton and Leicester City. In contrast, the Toon Army move up to third in the Premier League table as they look to cement their place for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Goals from Alexander Isak, Dan Burn and substitute William Osula guaranteed the three points for the Magpies. It was made easier for the home side as the Blues suffered a setback in the first half with Ben Johnson sent off for receiving a second yellow card – the first for simulation and the second for pulling back Isak on the left-hand side of the pitch. The Magpies clinical finishing was reflected through an xG of 3.05, whereas the visitors’ lack of finishing in front of goal was highlighted through an xG of 0.12. Thank you for reading and take care!
