Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Manchester United 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:

17:00Hosts Wolves head into today’s Boxing Day clash against Manchester United, one game into a new era after Gary O’Neil was replaced by Vitor Pereira earlier this month. The former Al Shabab coach made the perfect start to life in the West Midlands as he watched his side beat Leicester 3-0 over the weekend, for just their third Premier League win of the season. The home side still sit in the relegation zone, but the win against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s outfit has taken them to within a couple of points of safety ahead of the game against Ruben Amorim’s side.
