Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur 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:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace are deservedly ahead at the half-time interval as they lead Tottenham 1-0 in North London. Eze scored for the third Premier League match in a row to put his side ahead on 45 minutes after he slotted home a Munoz cross from close-range. Palace dominated the first half in which they enjoyed 57% possession and attempted 16 shots on the Tottenham goal. The hosts were dealt an early blow when Kulusevski was forced off injured, but Palace should be more than one goal up at the break. Sarr and Lacroix have both been denied by VAR, whilst Kinsky has pulled off a series of good stops on his return to the starting line-up for the first time since February. Porro's free-kick on the stroke of the half-time whistle is the closest the hosts have come to scoring. Spurs have created an xG of just 0.11 in that first half compared to an xG creation of 2.05 for Crystal Palace.
