Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Crystal Palace 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:

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
16:19Crystal Palace make history as they complete a league double over Tottenham for the very first time with a 2-0 win in North London. An Eze double either side of half-time mean Palace go into next weekend's FA Cup final with Manchester City following a first win at Tottenham since 1997. Eze swept home two neat finishes from close-range after being set up by Munoz and then Sarr. Both Sarr and Lacroix were denied by VAR and Kinsky made some fine stops to keep Tottenham in the contest. Palace had 23 efforts on goal throughout the 90 minutes in a dominant display from Oliver Glasner's team. They created an xG of 3.39 as they enjoyed a first Premier League victory in six attempts. Spurs are now winless in five league matches as they created an xG of just 0.68 in another underwhelming display. They fall into 17th in the table, with a trip to Aston Villa next before the Europa League final. Palace stay 12th and will prepare for the FA Cup final against Manchester City next. That is all from me. Thanks for joining me and goodbye.

16:11Nearly a third for Palace! It is a brilliant ball in-behind the Spurs defence from Guehi to find the run of Nketiah. The former Arsenal striker opens his body up as he looks to curl the ball beyond Kinsky, but the goalkeper does wel to deny him.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
15:17Crystal Palace are deservedly ahead at the half-time interval as they lead Tottenham 1-0 in North London. Eze scored for the third Premier League match in a row to put his side ahead on 45 minutes after he slotted home a Munoz cross from close-range. Palace dominated the first half in which they enjoyed 57% possession and attempted 16 shots on the Tottenham goal. The hosts were dealt an early blow when Kulusevski was forced off injured, but Palace should be more than one goal up at the break. Sarr and Lacroix have both been denied by VAR, whilst Kinsky has pulled off a series of good stops on his return to the starting line-up for the first time since February. Porro's free-kick on the stroke of the half-time whistle is the closest the hosts have come to scoring. Spurs have created an xG of just 0.11 in that first half compared to an xG creation of 2.05 for Crystal Palace.

14:10Oliver Glasner selects a strong team here despite this being Crystal Palace's final match before the FA Cup final.

Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes therefore come into the starting line-up.

14:01Ange Postecoglou decides to make eight changes from the Tottenham team that defeated Bodo/Glimt. Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur are the only players that keep their place in the starting line-up from that game. That also means a change in goal as Kinsky replaces Vicario.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
13:56Following their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest last time out, Crystal Palace look set to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table for the ninth time in the past 10 seasons. Like Tottenham though, Crystal Palace also have a cup final coming up to look forward to. This is the Eagles’ last match before they head back to Wembley to face Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Oliver Glasner may elect to rest some key players ahead of that match, when Palace could potentially win the FA Cup for the first time in their history. Palace will want to go into the final off the back of a win, but they have not won a league match at Tottenham since 1997.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
13:50It has already been a successful week for Tottenham following their victory in midweek against Bodo/Glimt which secured their passage to the Europa League final against Manchester United. Ange Postecoglou may have one eye on that fixture with a spot in next season’s Champions League up for grabs, something they will not be able to achieve via the Premier League table. A European trophy would salvage what has been a disastrous season for the North London club in the Premier League. Spurs currently sit 16th in the table, and three points here against Crystal Palace would lift them up to 14th and above Wolves on goal difference.
