Brentford vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Crystal Palace 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:

It's certainly not the best goal Wissa will ever score, but he and the Brentford fans won't care a jot if they go on to claim the three points. Palace have pegged back the Bees once before. Can they do it again?

Frank does now look to his bench. His first change sees Lewis-Potter come on for Schade, who perhaps should have extended Brentford's lead at 1-0 when he fired wide.
