Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Fulham 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:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham
19:00Wolverhampton Wanderers have been in mixed form since the arrival of Vitor Pereira. Still, tonight’s visit of The Cottagers at Molineux presents the midlands-based side with an opportunity to move further away from the relegation zone. Marco Silva’s Fulham are looking to keep their momentum this campaign and with recent victories over Newcastle United and Nottingham Forrest, confidence will be at an all-time high for the London-based club. However, the history of this fixture does not look fondly upon them. Wolves have lost none of their eight Premier League home games against Fulham (W6 D2), the most they’ve faced an opponent at Molineux without ever losing in the competition. They’re unbeaten in their last 15 home league games against the Cottagers (W11 D4) since a 4-0 loss in the second tier in April 1985.
