Follow live coverage as Southampton face Wolverhampton Wanderers 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:

Southampton threatened to pull off a stunning victory at league leaders Liverpool last time out when Will Smallbone’s goal gave the Saints the lead at half-time. The Reds though rallied in the second half to consign Saints to their 23rd defeat of the season after 28 games. Ivan Juric is still awaiting his first win at St Mary’s, with his solitary success coming away at Ipswich at the start of February. Juric still needs to steer his side above Derby County’s record-low 11-point haul, and he will not get many better opportunities than against a Wolves side also struggling at the wrong end of the table.
