Follow all the action from Stamford Bridge
Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

Ange Posteoglou’s Tottenham, meanwhile, have had a season to forget on the domestic front, and languish a lowly 14th in the Premier League table with just nine games to play. Three straight wins in February snapped a run of just one victory in 11 for the Lilywhites, but they’ve since reverted to type, drawing 2-2 with Bournemouth either side of losses to Manchester City and Fulham last time out.

Chelsea remain firmly locked in the race for Champions League football despite their mixed form prior to the international break, winning just four of their last 13 league fixtures dating back to mid-December.
