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:
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Edouard tries to pick out the top corner, but he gets well underneath his effort and it soars over the crossbar.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Eleven of Wharton's 13 shots in the Premier League have been from outside the box. Among all players to have 10+ shots since his debut in February, that is the highest percentage of any player (85 per cent).
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Kamada's Palace debut is over as he makes way for Ayew.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Janelt goes for the audacious with a long-range effort, though it's a poor shot in truth and flies harmlessly wide of the target.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Frank still hasn't called upon any of his substitutes. Carvalho would surely be one of the first choices to freshen up the Bees' attack.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Wharton again goes for goal, though Flekken is able to beat away his powerful effort. It's all Palace at the moment.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
After a 14-game unbeaten run in Premier League London derbies between October 2022 and November 2023, Brentford have now lost five of their last seven against fellow London opponents (two draws). That poor London derby run could be extended here if they don't slow Palace down.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
Palace have looked a different side since the leveller. They are the team doing the pressing now, and Frank may need to look to his bench to try and halt the visitors' momentum.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
NO GOAL! Palace have another goal ruled out as Edouard gets onto the end of Eze's pass before slotting past Flekken and into the net. However, the offside flag goes up to curtail the celebrations.
