Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Ipswich Town 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 Ipswich Town
It’s half-time here at the Gtech Community Stadium, and what started as a very placid game has turned into a goal-fest within the last 15 minutes of the half! Neither side managed any meaningful attacks for the first 20 minutes, but then in the 28th, Szmodics put the away side ahead after a nice touch from Hirst allowed him to bend a shot into the bottom-right corner of Flekken’s goal. Only three minutes later, the provider for the first goal, Hirst, doubled Ipswich’s lead with a composed dink over Flekken on his first Premier League start. That made it 2-0, and it seemed as though we would go into the break with Ipswich two goals ahead. Wissa had other ideas, and in the 44th minute, Janelt squared him the ball after great work from Lewis-Potter, and Wissa stroked the ball home with ease. That made the score 2-1, but the goals weren’t done yet! Wissa broke through the Ipswich Town backline and struck a shot beyond Muric. The goalkeeper got something on the shot, and Clarke then slid in to block the shot. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t keep the ball out, and it went down as an own goal for the Ipswich man. That made the score 2-2 and that is how the scoreline reads at the break.

There will more than likely be a couple of extra minutes on top of the added time due to the VAR check on the Brentford goal moments ago.
Brentford vs Ipswich Town
Brentford have scored 12 first-half goals in nine games; only Manchester City (13) have scored more in the Premier League this season. It didn’t quite come in the first minute today, but they love scoring goals in the first half!

There is no offside after a very tight check, and the score remains 2-2! Brentford have pulled themselves into the game as quickly as they went behind.

GOALLL! Brentford are level! Wissa was played through on goal and slotted his shot past Muric, who got something on the shot but not enough to keep it out. Clarke slides in to block but can’t keep it out! It goes down as an own goal by Clarke after the shot rolled over the line! 2-2! The VAR is checking for a tight offside...
