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:

There still hasn’t been too much to report on; both teams, but mainly Brentford, are trying to build attacks but there hasn’t been a big chance as of yet.

Brentford are now enjoying a period of comfortable possession, testing the water every now and then by pinging a ball forward. When nothing materialises, they reset and go again.

Following on from the scrappy start football-wise, there has also been some unnecessary fouls in the last few minutes. The game is heating up; can either team use their aggression to score?

The first half-chance for Brentford fell to Mbeumo who cut in onto his left foot, but his shot was blocked straight away. There was a small period of pinball after the shot, but Ipswich held their shape and managed to shut out the shots.
