Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face AFC Bournemouth 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:

Brentford's strong home form is built on their ability to battle back from losing positions. Frank's team won 4-3 at home to Ipswich Town in their last home fixture after trailing 2-0 early on.

The Bournemouth players are still protesting to the officials over Wissa's equaliser as the teams head off the pitch for half-time. Both goals had a touch of luck involved as Van Den Berg's error gifted Evanilson the breakthrough and Wissa's header was aided by an inadvertent touch from Adams. It's two each in terms of shots on target, but Bournemouth have carried the greater threat, with an xG of 1.93 compared to 0.42.
