Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

The full-time whistle goes at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth hang on against the 10 men of Wolves, sealing a 1-0 win and their first points of the new Premier League season! Tavernier's deflected strike in just the fourth minute of the game proved decisiv, as Andoni Iraola's side survived a late wave of Wolves attacks despite producing 1.57 xG to the visitors' 0.40. Wolves went close to an equaliser through Arias within 60 seconds of the restart, but any momentum was shattered when Toti Gomes was shown a straight red card for a last-man challenge on Evanilson just three minutes later. This led to Tavernier, Semenyo Adams, Kluivert all having chances to extend Bournemouth's lead, but they either fired high, wide or were denied by Sa as Wolves produced late efforts of their own through Agbadou and Hugo Bueno. The visitors couldn't find an equaliser though and remain in the bottom three with two defeats from their two matches, with Bournemouth climbing up to ninth after their first victory of the new campaign.
