This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.

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.

Both teams could have felt hard done by if they had lost that match. Bournemouth put together an enterprising display and could easily have had a second goal earlier than they did, with Christie and Semenyo going close. Brentford, meanwhile, saw Schade, Wissa and Lewis-Potter all hit the post, and they will be breathing a huge sigh of relief following Mbeumo's late intervention.

And breathe. The referee brings this thrilling encounter to an end, and it finishes Brentford 2-2 Bournemouth! Having fallen behind to Jensen's early free-kick, the Cherries were on course for their first league win under Iraola, Solanke levelling things up before Brooks capitalised on Henry's error to put them 2-1 up with 13 minutes left. Brentford, however, continued to knock on the door, and Kerkez's mistake allowed Mbeumo to slot home three minutes into stoppage time. A game neither side deserved to lose finishes all square!

CLOSE TO 3-2! Onyeka fires a low cross in from the right, but no Brentford player can turn it home! The Bees come again with Bournemouth clinging on, but Onyeka fires over from the edge of the box! Surely that will be that?

Frank is urging Brentford forward in search of a dramatic winner! A corner from the left is flicked on, but Neto gets up to hold it!

Bournemouth are camped in their own penalty area now, but Brentford can't find a way through. Ajer looks to flick on Mbeumo's cross, but he gets his header all wrong and it rolls behind.

Mbeumo's cross is headed away by Mepham as the fourth official's board goes up. We will have SIX additional minutes.
