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.

Luton Town vs Everton

Luton and Everton share the spoils at Kenilworth Road with a 1-1 draw. It's a result that won't matter too much to the away side, but the Hatters, who created 0.96 expected goals, will be disappointed not to have secured the three points in their fight for survival. The Toffees managed to produce 1.45 expected goals, and they took the lead in the first half after Branthwaite was fouled in the area, and Calvert-Lewin dispatched the penalty down the middle to open the scoring. It didn't take long for Luton to find an equaliser as a floated ball to the back post found the chest of Adebayo, and he controlled superbly before sending a powerful strike into the bottom corner. After the break, Edwards' side dominated possession as they searched to find a winner. They threw everything at it in the final few minutes, with goalkeeper Kaminski even joining the attack from a corner despite the game being level, but they couldn't secure the three points. Luton remain in the relegation zone, level on points with Nottingham Forest in 17th place. The Toffees stay in 15th, safe from the threat of dropping down to the Championship. Up next for the Hatters is a trip to West Ham, while Everton will host Sheffield United in their penultimate game of the campaign. That's all for today, goodbye!
