Follow live coverage as Fulham face Sunderland 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:

Fulham vs Sunderland

A great run from Berge sees him win a corner for the home side, their first of the second half. A deep delivery comes in but Roefs does well to punch it clear and ends up winning a free-kick for his troubles. It's been another solid showing from Sunderland's number one between the sticks so far.

Fulham vs Sunderland

A late Jimenez goal gave Fulham a deserved 1-0 win over Sunderland at Craven Cottage. The home side dominated the first half and had the chances to go in front, with Wilson striking an effort just wide of the post, while Kevin had a shot inside the area saved by Roefs. The away side improved after the break and did go close right at the start of the second half, but Le Fee's curling strike failed to hit the target. Silva's men improved as the game reached its latter stages, with Wilson squandered a golden opportunity after being fed by Sessegnon. It looked like being one of those frustrating afternoons for the hosts, but they found the breakthrough inside the last 10 minutes as the impactful Chukweze's cross was met by Jimenez, who showed all of his experience and poaching instincts to score the crucial goal. They ended the match with an xG of 2.08 to Sunderland's 0.17. Fulham now move up to 14th in the table, leapfrogging Newcastle, while Sunderland move down to sixth. That's all from me, thank you and goodbye!

Chukweze has made a telling contribution off the bench and has enjoyed a lot of the ball since the goal, while also running the clock down for the home side. He is involved in another move which leads to Smith Rowe being teed up to strike an effort at goal, but he scuffs his effort at the crucial moment and Sunderland can clear.
