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.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Brighton & Hove Albion FC 0 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers FC

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:10

CLOSE! This is end-to-end stuff at the Amex. Milner is unable to find crossing space as Wolves manage to clear before breaking towards Brighton's goal. Dunk shadows Neto through the middle before the Portugal winger curls a left-footed shot from outside the area narrowly wide to Steele's right. That was so close to the opening goal for the away side.

20:08

A brief stoppage comes as Sarabia stays down following a challenge near the right-hand touchline. The Wolves winger will be fine to continue, though, as the visitors restart with a free-kick at the feet of Doherty.

20:06

Brighton had just over 69 per cent of possession across the opening 15 minutes of this Premier League clash. De Zerbi's men remain eye-catching on the ball, but are yet to force Sa into a meaningful save.

20:04

Close! Van Hecke angles a smart pass inside to Gross, who spins and disguises a throughball for Welbeck into the area. Semedon is alert, though, tucking in to shield away before the onrushing Sa pounces on the loose ball.

20:04

O'Neil may be relieved for a quiet passage of play as Cunha's inventive backheel is comfortably claimed by Steele. The game has slowed down somewhat in the last few minutes.

19:59

OFF THE LINE! Estupinan's right-sided corner causes all sort of problems as a flick-on goes all the way to the back post for Buonanotte. The unmarked Brighton youngster stoops to head low past Sa but Doyle is there on the line to hook clear!

19:58

OVER! Great football from Brighton as Hinshelwood make a lovely run inside before offloading to Welbeck, whose right-footed drive is deflected just over for a corner. The Brighton forward has six goal involvements in eight Premier League starts against Wolves (four goals, two assists), and was one of three players to net a brace in this exact fixture last term as the Seagulls ran out 6-0 winners (also two goals for Gross and Deniz Undav).

19:55

Toti rises the highest to clear Milner's left-flank chipped cross before Doherty goes down the other end and wins a corner from Dunk's clearance. Sarabia delivers from the right-hand side but swings a woeful set-piece straight out of play. Terrible from the Wolves winger.

19:53

The pressure keeps coming as Gross' left-wing cross finds Welbeck, who is let down by his first touch before Sa collects near his six-yard area. De Zerbi's side are in control but can they make their dominance count?

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:52

Hinshelwood's right-sided delivery is flicked on inside the Wolves box but Milner is unable to control at the back post, seemingly surprised by Van Hecke's header towards him. Milner has surpassed Ryan Giggs with his 633rd appearance in the Premier League here, edging ever closer to Gareth Barry’s 653-game record in the competition.

19:51

Estupinan overlaps Milner before firing a pass into the feet of Joao Pedro, whose right-footed effort is blocked on the edge of the Wolves area. The Brazilian forward is then felled by a late Dawson challenge, offering the hosts a free-kick in a central position.

19:50

O'Neil's visitors have looked assured in the early exchanges, with Cunha dropping deep to dictate play before Semedo commits a needless foul on Joao Pedro near the left-hand touchline.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:48

EARLY CHANCE! Sarabia is immediately involved, breaking through the middle before driving a low left-footed strike that Steele saves diving down to his left. It's an energetic start from Wolves, who almost score straight from kick-off!

Referee Craig Pawson gets this Premier League game under way!

This is Wolves' first top-flight game of 2024 – the third latest a team has played their opening Premier League game of a calendar year (excluding promoted sides), after Portsmouth in 2010 (January 26) and Manchester United in 2000 (January 24). Will there be any signs of rustiness? We’re about to find out with kick-off approaching…

The headline news for O’Neil’s side is that Neto starts in the Premier League for Wolves for the first time since October 2023 against Newcastle United. He has provided seven assists in his last eight Premier League starts, including in each of his last three in the competition. Doherty and Lemina also come into the starting XI, with Hwang Hee-chan and Rayan Ait-Nouri out on international duty, while Joao Gomes is suspended.

De Zerbi makes one change from the goalless draw with West Ham. Webster drops to the bench as Dunk returns from suspension. Lamptey, who has been out with a muscle injury since November, is named among the substitutes.

Wolves are riding the crest of a wave, having won their last three Premier League games against Chelsea, Brentford and Everton before defeating the Bees in their FA Cup third-round replay last Tuesday. Gary O’Neil’s side are 11th in the league but would move level on points with Brighton after a victory here.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:15

Brighton are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games, drawing with Crystal Palace and West Ham either side of a 4-2 win over Tottenham. Roberto De Zerbi’s side sit eighth in the league table, while the Seagulls were also 4-2 winners in their last outing against Stoke City in the FA Cup third round.
