Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face West Ham 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:

The big news for West Ham in terms of line-up, is that Ferguson starts his first game for the Hammers since his loan move from Brighton. Graham Potter had intimated that might be the case in his press conference, stating the forward was 'ready to play' after his goal-scoring exploits for the Republic of Ireland. Elsewhere, there are more changes (four in total) to the team that drew with Everton. Todibo makes way for Cresswell at the heart of the defence. Emerson drops to the bench with youngster Scarles preferred in the left wing-back role. Tomas Soucek is sacrificed for Luis Guilherme, and Kudus is relegated to the substitutes' bench with Ferguson drafted in.

For Wolves, it is as you were, with an unchanged eleven the reward for the players who started the 2-1 victory against Southampton. Bellegarde is in good form at the sharp end of the pitch, which is well-timed given the absence of the enigmatic Brazilian Matheus Cunha. Cunha serves game three of his four-match suspension this evening after his initial red card punishment was lengthened following his 'improper conduct' charge against Bournemouth.

West Ham will see this as an opportunity to extend their sizeable points advantage over Wolves and record only their fourth win since the turn of the year. Graham Potter is still finding a way to get the best out of the group at his disposal and will be keen to get back to winning ways after impressive victories over Arsenal and Leicester in February were clouded slightly by the loss to Newcastle and the stalemate versus Everton in March.
