Follow live coverage as Burnley face Leeds United 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:

Burnley vs Leeds United

Burnley secure just their second win of the season, holding off sustained pressure from Leeds after taking a 1-0 lead in the first half. It looked for long stretches like the visitors would be next to score - Tuanzebe denied Calvert-Lewin what looked like a certain tap-in, before Harrison fired over after bouncing his effort into the turf. Leeds dominated possession throughout, but a lapse in concentration proved costly. Substitute Tchaouna was gifted acres of space on the edge of the area and made no mistake, unleashing a stunning strike into the top corner - a goal worthy of Goal of the Month honours, if not the season. That goal sealed the result, as Leeds simply couldn’t find the finishing touch despite generating 1.67 expected goals. Burnley, by contrast, created just 0.45 xG - with only 0.03 of that coming in the second half, via Tchaouna’s wonder strike. Next up, Burnley travel to Wolves in what could be a crucial clash in the relegation fight. Leeds will look to bounce back at home to an out-of-form West Ham after suffering back-to-back defeats. That’s all from us today - thanks for joining, and until next time, goodbye!

Burnley almost shoot themselves in the foot as they scramble to deal with a cross from the right, which evades two or three players before Walker finally boots it clear. They can’t afford to take any chances in the dying moments.

Piroe fires wide! Gudmundsson breaks down the left flank and plays a teasing ball into the middle, but it’s just behind the substitute, who’s out of position and scuffs his effort off target. You get the feeling that might be Leeds’ last real chance...
