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.

Fulham FC 3 - 0 West Ham United FC

Fulham vs West Ham United

15:12

Out on the right touchline, Paqueta catches Iwobi with an ill-timed challenge, but the referee decides not to produce a yellow card and just awards Fulham a free-kick.

Paqueta has had more touches than any other West Ham player so far, but many of them have been inside his own half, when tracking back on the right. Would a change of position benefit the Irons' most influential player? Certainly, Moyes must mull over some changes - if only to help keep Fulham from scoring more after the break.

15:00

A dominant first-half display by free-scoring Fulham has put the home side three goals up at the interval, having taken full advantage of an abject West Ham performance. Iwobi and Pereira have pulled the strings, as strikes from Jimenez, Willian and Adarabioyo helped the Cottagers capitalise on a substantial share of possession - much of it inside the Hammers' half. Moyes must be seething, but Silva can be satisfied: Fulham have now scored eight times without reply in one-and-a-half matches.

FULL-TIME: FULHAM 3-0 WEST HAM

14:54

After a pause in play for Willian to receive treatment, the action resumes as the Fulham winger returns, with West Ham trying to exert some pressure on Fulham's back line.

14:51

That's Palhinha's eighth booking already this season - and his 20th in a Fulham shirt - and he will have to tread carefully for the remainder of this match. Only if the home side went down to 10 men would West Ham have much hope of getting back into the game.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:49

Fabianski has to stick out a boot to block the irrepressible Iwobi from picking out a team-mate in the box, after the Fulham midfielder bursts through into West Ham's area again.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:47

West Ham have been stung into a response, as they finally put some pressure on Fulham's defensive third. It comes to nothing, though, as Paqueta demonstrates his frustration.

14:42

Swiveling on the spot, Coufal lofts the ball into Fulham's box from the right byline, but Bowen can't make clean contact and sends a tame close-range shot straight at Leno.

Assist Andreas Hugo Hoelgebaum Pereira

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:40

Fulham have had two-thirds of possession so far, and after a fairly subdued start they are dictating things now. Can they capitalise by finding a third goal before half-time?

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:39

From the left side of the area, Cairney flashes a dangerous cross along West Ham's six-yard box. No-one reaches it, but West Ham continue to struggle defensively, having failed to get a foothold in midfield.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:38

That goal sees Willian join Jimenez on four goals as Fulham's top scorer in the Premier League this season, and the in-form Cottagers simply cannot be stopped at the moment. The home crowd have been treated to seven goals in less than two games.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:32

Assist Alexander Chuka Iwobi

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:32

A casual pass out from the back by Bassey presents the ball to Paqueta, around 25 yards out in a central position, but the West Ham playmaker slices his shot far over Leno's crossbar.

14:31

Surrounded by three West Ham defenders just outside the box, Jimenez topples to the turf and yells out in apparent agony. However, the referee is disinterested and play goes on. The striker belatedly returns to his feet.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:30

Fabianski collects a cross by Iwobi, as Fulham fly forward in search of a second goal. You can almost sense the confidence coursing through their veins, having seemingly scored at will of late.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:28

Fulham have avoided defeat in their last six matches when scoring the opener in the Premier League, with that run dating back to 28th May against Manchester United. That bodes well for Silva's side after Jimenez has put them on their way today.

14:23

Goal Raúl Alonso Jiménez Rodríguez

14:22

Pereira's cute backheel cuts open West Ham's defence on the right, earning Fulham a corner, which the same player delivers himself. However, it ultimately comes to nothing.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:19

Under acute pressure from Zouma, Leno manages to punch the ball clear of his six-yard box, and West Ham ultimately have to settle for a second successive corner, which the goalkeeper also meets with a strong fist.

14:18

Yellow Card Aaron William Cresswell

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:18

Willian plays a lovely one-two with Jimenez on the left, and after receiving a lofted pass towards the byline, the Brazilian winger shoots straight at Fabianski from a tight angle.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:17

Full of confidence following his recent exploits, Iwobi strides forward and scuffs a 30-yard effort well wide of the left-hand post. There were better options available, but having registered 10 shots and three goals from his last three home appearances, he optimistically let fly.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:14

At the end of a promising attack, Kudus loses the ball on the brink of Fulham's box, but Bowen manages to retrieve the ball immediately and scuds a low shot straight at Leno, who completes a straightforward save.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:13

A crossfield ball by Paqueta picks out Coufal near the right byline, but the full-back can't quite bring it under control and Fulham will have a goal-kick. The visitors are on top at the moment.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:11

With some fleet footwork, Paqueta and Fornals combine on the left, opening up some space, but Bowen then has the ball stolen from him by Bassey just outside Fulham's area.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:09

SAVE! Kudus wins a free-kick around 30 yards out in a central area, but it seems just a little too far for Ward-Prowse to test Fulham's goalkeeper from. Nonetheless, the West Ham set-piece specialist steps up and hammers a powerful strike on target, forcing Leno to leap up and palm it away!

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:06

Without too much trouble, Leno comes out to claim a cross from the right by Kudus, as West Ham move forward for the first time, following Fulham's early spell of possession.

Fulham vs West Ham United

14:04

Fulham's most recent victory in this fixture came on New Year's Day 2014, while West Ham have won 16 Premier League matches against the Cottagers - having only beaten Southampton (20) and Tottenham Hotspur more often in the top flight. How will today's game pan out, though?

Fulham vs West Ham United

Fulham kick off, and we are under way in the capital!

14:01

The players emerge from the tunnel at Craven Cottage, and kick-off in this London derby is now just moments away!

Fulham vs West Ham United

13:54

Making two changes to the team that started against Spurs, David Moyes brings Aaron Cresswell and Pablo Fornals into West Ham's starting XI, replacing Emerson Palmieri and Edson Alvarez. First-choice goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is still unavailable due to a wrist injury, so Lukasz Fabianski - who made his first league start of the season on Thursday - continues to deputise.

Fulham vs West Ham United

13:50

Fulham are unchanged from their five-star performance in midweek, which featured braces from both Raul Jimenez and Alex Iwobi. While Issa Diop's foot injury rules him out of meeting his former club today, and Adama Traore is still sidelined, Rodrigo Muniz is back on the bench following a knee problem.

Fulham vs West Ham United

13:46

SUBS: Joseph Anang, Angelo Ogbonna, Divin Mubama, Danny Ings, Emerson Palmieri, Maxwel Cornet, Said Benrahma, Thilo Kehrer, Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Fulham vs West Ham United

13:34

West Ham recovered from one goal down to inflict a 2-1 defeat on Tottenham in midweek, taking their tally to five wins from six in all competitions. While such form has seen the Hammers cement their place in the top half of the table, they are still waiting for a first Premier League clean sheet of the season away from home. Nonetheless, they have found the net on each of their last nine top-flight road trips and have compiled five wins from their last six meetings with today's hosts.

Fulham vs West Ham United

13:34

Wednesday's 5-0 thumping of Nottingham Forest was Fulham's biggest top-flight win for over a decade, and Marco Silva's side have racked up 11 goals from their last three fixtures - having put three past Liverpool and Wolves. As a result, they have pulled nine points clear of the relegation zone. Victory today would see the capital-city club prevail in three straight Premier League home games for the first time since 2012; however, the Cottagers have recently gone 11 London derbies without a win.
