Follow live coverage as Arsenal take on Manchester United in the Premier League today. Another top-flight season is covered in detail here at The Independent as reigning champions Manchester City aim to achieve an unprecedented five titles in a row by the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola’s side, but just as intriguing will be the race for the Champions League places, with more teams than ever hoping for places in the top four. Chelsea continue to spend heavily, Manchester United’s recent rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle are expected to improve this year – yet it was Aston Villa that secured fourth place last season.

Meanwhile, Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town have returned to the elite after being promoted last year, and each of them will be hoping they can stay for longer than just a year. Follow all the latest live action from the Premier League below:

MISS! Under pressure from Martinelli near the left touchline, Dalot concedes a corner – the first of the game for both sides. Rice hurls it towards the near post, where Partey gets there first, but the midfielder messes up his header horribly and pushes the ball narrowly wide! He had to score!

All is agreed at the moment and Arsenal are content to let them have the ball and wait for an almost inevitable mistake. The hosts are very confident after scoring comfortably in their last three wins and are therefore happy to wait for the right time.

United were content to keep the ball in their own half until Zinchenko won the ball and threw a perfect pass into the path of Martinelli in the penalty area. The latter then shoots into the goal from close range, but the assistant referee immediately raises his flag – the Brazilian winger was clearly offside.

Manchester United continued their unbeaten start under new manager Ruben Amorim, recording a four-game clean sheet against Everton at Old Trafford last weekend as Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee scored twice each. With eight points from the last four Premier League games, the Red Devils climbed to ninth place in the table. However, a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in Amorim’s first game extended United’s winning streak away from home to six games, five of which ended completely level.
