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

Thomas Frank’s team has started this Premier League campaign in a mixed way; he will be disappointed with his side's 2-1 loss against Manchester United in the previous matchday, as they threw away a lead at Old Trafford. However, they have managed to pick up valuable points in other games against Wolves, Southampton, and Crystal Palace. They are known for scoring early on in games but struggle to hold onto their lead at times. If they can be more solid at the back, a home win is in sight here.

Brentford vs Ipswich Town

Both teams in this game are competing in the bottom half of the table, despite less than 10 games being played so far. Brentford come into this game on the back of a 2-1 away loss to Manchester United. It was a game that Brentford scored first in, but they let their lead slip and came away with no points to show for their efforts. As for Ipswich, they are still winless and come into this fixture after a 2-0 home loss to Everton. The last time these two faced each other was in 2019, when both teams were playing in the Championship. Brentford ran away as 2-0 winners on the day, but now they face up in the Premier League for the first time.
