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.

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.

Burnley FC 0 - 2 AFC Bournemouth

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

15:26

All over here at Turf Moor, and another tough day for Burnley on home soil with a 0-2 defeat. The Clarets started the game promisingly with quick, decisive passing and majority of possession, but they lacked that cutting edge which Bournemouth showed when it mattered. Kluivert took advantage of some sloppy Burnley defending after a long ball over the top and skipped past O’Shea to smash one in for the first goal of the game. Semenyo then sealed the contest with a deflected effort late in the second half. Burnley’s 75% possession and 1.53 xG counted for very little today with Bournemouth coming out on top with a lower xG of 1.10. That’s Burnley’s 11th home defeat of the season, which is now the most they’ve lost at home in a single league campaign in the club’s history, and paints a dooming picture for not only their next game away to West Ham but also the remainder of the season. Bournemouth, on the other hand, will be looking to build on today’s clinical performance as they host bottom of the table Sheffield United next matchday. Thanks for tuning in to our coverage and goodbye!

Burnley still pushing for a goal but the Bournemouth backline looks comfortable. The home fans are getting impatient.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:51

Another short corner from Burnley doesn’t come to anything. Time is ticking away for the home side to get an equaliser…

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:50

A reckless challenge from Smith gets him a yellow card.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:47

Fofana, who has been incredibly quiet all game, wins Burnley a corner. It’s taken short and whipped in well by Benson. O’Shea couldn’t quite head the ball down and it loops out for a goal kick.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:46

Odobert does really well to dribble the ball into the Bournemouth half, with two midfielders chasing him down. He eventually gets his side a freekick.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:44

Semenyo is doing his best to put this game to bed here. The ball is switched out to him on the right flank, and he cuts in on his left to drill an effort past Trafford’s net. Really not far off!

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:43

Substitution Victor Alexander da Silva Benson Manuel Hedilazio

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:38

Bournemouth's goalscorer, Kluivert, goes off for Billing.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:38

Big appeals for a penalty as Odobert goes down in the box. The referee doesn’t budge, and play continues with Burnley really pressing the Cherries backline.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:34

Vitinho also gets himself booked for complaining to the referee.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:34

Substitution Jacob Bruun Larsen Mohamed Zeki Amdouni

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:33

Nasty one from Tavernier as he clashes with Cullen and goes into the book.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:33

Burnley think they’ve scored here, but the referee blows for a foul to Bournemouth! Another cross into the box falls to the feet of Cullen after Bruun Larsen nods it down, but Bruun Larsen is deemed to have fouled the Bournemouth defender and it’s a freekick instead. Kompany is livid!

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:30

Some movement on the Burnley bench, and Kompany might be bringing some fresh legs on soon to try and affect this game.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:28

Cullen hits an effort from long range but it’s comfortable for Neto.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:28

Burnley are upping the intensity here! The ball is played out to Vitinho, who whips a great cross into the box. The ball lands at Odobert's feet but his touch does him no favours and he fluffs a shot straight at a defender.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:26

Berger skips past a couple of Bournemouth midfielders and drives forward. Taylor eventually whips a ball into the box but again Bournemouth are able to clear.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:24

Bournemouth have started this half with intent and a clear plan, which is to counter the Burnley possession with quick forward passes.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:23

Big chance for Bournemouth! The ball breaks for Kluivert on the left flank and he plays a ball over towards Solanke. The ball is slightly too ahead of the forward but he does well to get a shot away. Trafford is behind it and saves.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:21

Burnley work the ball well and move into the Bournemouth box. Yet again, nothing clear comes from the move and the ball is cleared away.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:18

Good defending from Burnley. Scott drives into the box but Berger follows him all the way and nudges him off the ball. VAR did check it for a penalty but nothing doing there.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:15

Kompany will be hoping for more of the same from his team in the second half, after what was one of the Clarets’ best first half performances all season.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:13

Back underway for the second half here!

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:10

Substitution Ryan Christie Alex Jay Scott

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:04

Burnley have had 75 per cent of the ball and with an xG of 1.23, compared to Bournemouth's 0.60, the home team will look to be more clinical in the second half if they want to get back into this game.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

14:03

An eventful first half here at Turf Moor, and the home side will definitely be the more disappointed. Burnley have dominated possession, created some late chances with Neto making one amazing save to deny Bruun Larsen an equalier, but it's Bournemouth who come into half-time with the lead. Kluivert capitalised on some shaky defending from the Burnley defence and smashed in from close range past Trafford. The two Burnley centre-backs didn't deal with a simple ball over the top well enough, and O'Shea in particular won't want to see that one again.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:55

Burnley fans asking for a second yellow for Semenyo who fouls Taylor, but nothing doing from the referee.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:53

Burnley really pushing for an equalier late in the first half. Vitinho seems to be involved in all of their attacks at the moment.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:51

Yellow Card Antoine Serlom Semenyo

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:50

How have Burnley not scored here? The ball comes into the box and Vitinho of all players is in the box. He leaps for the ball but can only head over.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:50

CHANCE! What a save from Neto! Burnley have a freekick in a dangerous spot after Kluivert's foul. Bruun Larsen hits an effort over the wall and Neto scrambles across to save. Best chance of the game for the home side so far.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:46

Yellow Card Justin Dean Kluivert

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:45

Great chance for Burnley! Odobert plays a lovely ball through to Fofana, who can't quite get a shot on goal as Neto rushes out his net. The ball then comes out to Bruun Larsen who hits a shot towards goal and his effort is excellently blocked by Smith.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:44

Tavernier hits the resulting freekick over Trafford's goal.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:41

Burnley make a mess of it around the Bournemouth box, and the away side try to counter quickly. Esteve eventually brings Solanke down and the forward has won a freekick in a pretty good position for his side.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:40

Bournemouth are defending really well here and are frustrating the home side to no clear-cut chances.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:38

Better from Burnley in the final third with a decent attempt, as Cullen lays a ball off to Odobert on the edge of the Bournemouth box. The Burnley attacker looks for the top right corner, but the ball whizzes past the goal.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:38

If you needed an insight into how well Burnley are keeping the ball here - the Clarets have had 93 percent of the ball in the last 15 minutes.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:35

Bournemouth finally having a bit of a spell with the ball. The away side will be happy with how the game is going, despite Burnley's dominance in possession, and Neto has still not been asked to make a save.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:34

Look away Clarets fans! Burnley have lost 18 of their last 19 Premier League games in which they've conceded first, with their last such win coming in the 2021/22 season (2-1 v Watford).

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:33

The home fans are urging their team forward here. Burnley are moving the ball exceptionally quickly today.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:32

Burnley clearly in control of the game here but are yet to really test Neto in the Bournemouth goal.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:29

Burnley are asking for a freekick here as Odobert seemed to have been clipped as he hit a shot towards goal, but the ref thought otherwise and play goes on.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:28

It's Bournemouth's turn to mishit a shot. Trafford makes a mess of a pass out from the back, Bournemouth pull a few passes together but Tavernier's shot skyrockets over the net. Trafford will be glad that came to nothing - the keeper has been taking chances on the ball most of the season, and already in this game.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:26

Vitinho involved with play again, as he scoops a left footed effort well wide of the Bournemouth goal.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:26

Cullen intercepts the ball well at the edge of the Bournemouth box and the ball eventually reaches Vitinho out on the right. Again though, a Burnley ball into the box is cleared.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:25

Another half chance for the Clarets. The ball bounces around in the box but it just isn't falling for a Burnley player right now.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:24

Odobert with some good and persistent work to win another Burnley corner.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:24

Bruun Larsen tries to reach a chipped pass into the Bournemout box, but Zabarnyi gets to the ball first and clears it for a Burnley throw.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:21

All four of Kluivert's goals in the Premier League for Bournemouth have been scored in the first half, with each of his last two coming inside the opening 15 minutes.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:20

Burnley are now trying to calm the game down after that sucker punch from Kluivert, which really came against the run of play.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:20

Some Burnley shouts for a penalty are quickly checked by VAR as Semenyo is deemed not to have fouled Taylor in his box.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:16

Goal Justin Dean Kluivert

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:16

Assist Lewis John Cook

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:14

Substitution Marcos Nicolás Senesi Barón Christopher James Mepham

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:14

Stoppage in play here and it looks like Senesi's game might be coming to an early conclusion. The Bournemouth defender seems to have pulled his hamstring, and what has been a tough start for Bournemouth has only gotten worse with this injury blow.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:13

First half chance for Bournemouth, as Tavernier easily skips past Assignon and puts a dangerous ball into Burnley's box. It eventually clears and now Burnley move the ball forward.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:11

Cullen spreads the ball delightfully out to Taylor on the left flank, but the left back mishits his cross out for a Bournemouth goal-kick.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:11

Taylor is quicker than Cook to a loose ball and wins a freekick well into the Bournemouth half.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:10

Bruun Larsen's ball in doesn't threat Bournemouth and they can clear it away towards the halfway line.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:08

Burnley have the first corner of the game...

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:08

CHANCE! Kompany will certainly be happy with the start his team have made here, as Burnley drill another low ball into Bournemouth's area. Assignon connected well with it, but straight at Neto.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:06

Burnley have started the game well here and are putting some pressure on the Bournemouth defence already. A couple of balls into the away sides box are cleared by Bournemouth pretty comfortably, though.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:03

Yellow Card Dara Joseph O'Shea

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:03

And we're underway! Let's see who comes out on top in this one.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:03

The players are out onto Turf Moor, and we're almost ready for kick-off...

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

13:03

For Bournemouth on the other hand, this is the first time the Cherries have named an unchanged starting XI in the Premier League under Andoni Iraola, and first time that they have done so in the competition since May 2023 (v Chelsea).

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

12:58

Burnley make a few changes from their last game against Palace, both in personnel and in their shape. Vitinho slots in at right back and Assignon moves up to right wing. Cullen also replaces the suspended Brownhill, whilst Amdouni is dropped to the bench in place of Bruun Larsen.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

12:43

Meanwhile, Bournemouth are 14th in the league table but they come into this game on the back of a six-match winless run. They will be keen to put a bigger gap between themselves and the drop zone - a win today would go a long way in easing some pressure off the back of a horrid run of form.

Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth

12:38

Burnley come into this game sitting at 19th in the league table with four defeats in the last five league matches. The Clarets seriously need to pick up points soon if they want to try and climb out of the relegation zone, and Bournemouth might prove to be the ideal opponent to do that against. Burnley have an impressive head-to-head record against The Cherries, with four wins in their last six meetings.
