Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Everton 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:

The ball is cut back for McNeil on the edge of the box but instead of shooting first time, he takes too long on the ball, and Clarke is able to nick in, win the ball and win his side a free-kick. Brilliant defensive play from the winger.

Everton started the season with a winless run of their own, failing to win any of their first five matches in the competition, giving up leads more than once.

After losing their first two matches, in a tough start against Liverpool and then Manchester City, they registered four consecutive draws. However, they went into the international break on the back of a heavy 4-1 defeat to West Ham, though Kieran McKenna will take faith that never before have Ipswich gone eight games at the start of a top-flight campaign without a win before.
