Follow live coverage as Everton face Manchester City 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.

Everton will work hard, of course, but they are also very capable of winning this if they are as "in your face" as they can be, and upset City's rhythm. If Pep Guardiola's side play like they did against Nottingham Forest a few weeks ago, and don't really get going, then they are going to get turned over.

Good afternoon and welcome to clockwatch coverage of this afternoon’s four 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League. Brentford, winless in eight Premier League games at home, host Brighton who have not won in four.
