Follow live coverage as Brentford face Ipswich Town 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:

Ipswich have gained a sense of comfort in possession now as they enjoy a period of calm. Brentford are sitting off them slightly, happy to stay in the lead with no pressure.

Ipswich definitely won’t sit back and accept going behind; they will continue to search for what will be an equaliser now. McKenna will be so, so disappointed with the fashion in which his side have gone behind.

What a turnaround this has been from Brentford; it has been a breathless game since the 44th minute when Wissa pulled one back!

GOALLL! Mbeumo puts Brentford ahead from 12 yards to maintain his 100% penalty record for Brentford. He lifted his shot high into the roof of the net after a slight jump in his run-up. 3-2 to Brentford!

PENALTY! Brentford have a chance from the spot after a short VAR check! They deemed the foul to be continued inside the area after the initial contact outside the box!

Lewis-Potter goes down seemingly inside the box after crossing Clarke’s path. The referee blows his whistle and points for a free-kick. The VAR are checking for a penalty!

Ipswich have an early corner in this second half as Davis earns it out on the left side. Pinnock clears the cross and then Davis strikes wildly over the bar on the follow-up.

The teams are back out on the pitch, and the crowd has only just got their breath back after the end of that first half. Ipswich Town get us going again, and the second half is under way!

Looking to the second half, Brentford have the wind in their sails now and will look to build upon the frantic end to the first half. They had a very slow start to the game but showed their quality in the closing stages and now have 45 minutes to go further and get the win. As for Ipswich, Kieran McKenna will be gutted with how his side has given away their lead but will remain confident that they can regain it. They have gotten past the Brentford defence several times already, and there will be chances in the second half; it just depends on whether they take them or not.
