Brentford vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Brentford vs Manchester City
Third change for Brentford now, and it's Onyeka that's making way for Baptiste.

Dasilva has acres of space and he curls a lovely early cross into the box. Wissa wasn't ready for it though, and he can't bring it under control on the stretch.

It's another clever free-kick from Brentford as Mbuemo clips it into Dasilva just inside the D. He flicks a header on, but it's too high for Wissa and straight into Ederson's gloves.

It's a great run from Dasilva down the right and he drills a low cross into the box, but Wissa slips at just the wrong moment. Onyeka latches onto the loose ball and hits a shot across goal, but it's blocked by Walker.

Brentford are getting more frustrated with the referee as they feel decisions aren't going their way. Mbuemo is the latest to stay down after being bundled off the ball, but City come away with it.

And Hickey is also making way, with Dasilva on in his place.

Brentford are making a double change here as they search for a late goal. Damsgaard is the first to go off, with Schade replacing him.
