Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford
Brentford move six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone following a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux. Norgaard headed the Bees into a 35th-minute lead from Reguilon's corner, while Toney turned in Janelt's cross 13 minutes from time to seal only a second win in nine games. Meanwhile, it was only a second defeat in 10 matches for 10th-place Wolves, who miss the chance to consolidate their top-half position. O'Neil's side will look to respond when they travel to Tottenham next Saturday, with Brentford hosting Liverpool on the same day. Thanks for joining us. Until next time, goodbye!
