Follow all the action from London Stadium
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Meanwhile, The Hatters are three points from safety heading into their penultimate Premier League game of the season. If Rob Edwards' side fail to beat West Ham, their return to the Championship will be sealed if Nottingham Forest beat Chelsea. A draw against the Hammers and a draw between Forest and Chelsea would mean Luton needing to win and a nine-goal swing on the final day. However, should the visitors beat the Irons and Forest were to lose against Mauricio Pochettino’s outfit, they would be level on points with one game to play.

David Moyes takes charge of his final home game for West Ham against relegation-threatened Luton Town. The Club announced earlier this week that the Scot will leave his role at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, following a successful four-and-a-half-year spell that has yielded three successive European quarter-finals, a UEFA Europa Conference League trophy and two top-ten Premier League finishes in the last three years. Before Julen Lopetegui - once of Real Madrid and Wolves - takes the reins in the capital, Moyes will at least endeavour to improve the Irons' harrowing home record of just two wins from 12 games in 2024.
