The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
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.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace
BLOCKED!! The corner is cleared, but back come Palace as Ayew feeds Eze in the box. He shoots, but the packed Bees defence prevails and Henry gets the final touch to send the ball behind for another corner!

WIDE!!! Nearly an own-goal for the ages from Brentford! Lerma's in-swinging cross from the left strikes Norgaard, whose attempted header clear skews back towards his own posts and bounces inches wide with Flekken beaten!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Palace have won three of their six Premier League away matches since Roy Hodgson’s return to the club. From the first of those away games – a 5-1 demolition of Leeds in April – to now, only Liverpool (11) have more away Premier League points than Palace's 10.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
BLOCKED!!! A wild Brentford chance goes begging! Onyeka's cross from the right is met on the volley by Janelt, but his ambitious, acrobatic effort strikes Lewis-Potter and bounces behind for a goal kick!

Another clash in the air involves Andersen, but this time the Palace defender is left on the turf following Lewis-Potter's challenge. He's soon back to his feet though, and has certainly put himself about in this game!

CHANCE!!! Henry steps inside and sends Janelt down the left byline, but his cross is cut out and put behind by Lerma, arriving on the edge of the six-yard box from nowhere!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Mateta and Pinnock both slide to get on the end of a throughball into Brenftord's box, and the Bees centre-back is left on the deck as the ball skews away from danger!

WIDE!!! Andersen picks out Ayew with a brilliant lofted throughball, but the forward can't find the target as he brings the ball down and fires it across the face to no-one!
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
While Ayew has attempted five shots in this game, his most in the Premier League since February 2020, and the five chances Andersen has created is his own record in the top-flight, their roles were reversed for Palace to lock the game up.
