Follow live coverage as Everton 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:

Kulusevski drops deep into midfield before wrapping his body around a launched pass down the pitch that picks out Richarlison. With only the goalkeeper to beat, the substitute’s first touch lets him down, allowing Pickford to charge off his line to smother the ball.

Spence and Son work a short-corner routine out to Maddison looking for an alternate angle to deliver a cross, but Everton’s defence step forward in unison to deny the trio space, with Gueye eventually dispossessing the Tottenham full-back inside the 18-yard box.

Mykolenko and Lindstrom stand over the deadball but it’s the latter who takes it, sending his delivery skipping across the face of goal but without a team-mate in the area, it’s allowed to bounce behind harmlessly for a goal-kick.

Maddison’s pass from inside the centre-circle is telegraphed and easily intercepted by Ndiaye, who interchanges with Doucoure before receiving a kick to the ankle from Bergvall, which gives Everton yet another set-piece.

Kulusevski’s loss of possession just outside Everton’s penalty area gives the hosts the chance to hit on the counter, with Calvert-Lewin dragging his side up the pitch before spreading play out to the left for Ndiaye. The winger holds up play before laying it off to Mykolenko, whose first-time shot from 20 yards out is skewed high and wide.

Porro’s outswinging corner towards the near post is hit in search of Sarr, but Calvert-Lewin beats his opponent to the ball to clear his lines, before Ndiaye is taken down by a reckless Maddison – giving Everton a free-kick.

Maddison floats a diagonal into the penalty area from a position in the left channel, but it’s easily dealt with by O’Brien, under no real pressure.
