Follow live coverage as Brentford face Nottingham Forest 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 Nottingham Forest

Damsgard runs with the ball, looking for some support or a passing option. He is hurried though and runs the ball out of play.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Forest push forward, trying both to score and perhaps just slow the game down a bit and hold onto the ball. Jota Silva drives and he stops to wait for support, but slips as he tries to block the ball and Brentford win it back.

Schade makes way now for former Liverpool midfielder Carvalho.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Brentford have had 77.3% possession over the last 15 minutes and most of the match has been played in Forest's half. Time is running out, but is there a chance for the hosts to pull one back?

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Brentford have attempted 18 crosses in this match, higher than their season average of 17. They mount another attack and the ball is played into the box, but Forest's defence clears. It's a bit too predictable at the moment from the hosts.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Forest make a good movement on the break and the ball falls for Hudson-Odoi to take on the shot, but Mee is there to block it. Brentford's defensive shape has been unconvincing today, but that was a good block from Mee.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Brentford put together another good passing sequence as the hosts push to pull a goal back. But the Forest defence closes the space well to smother the attack and the ball is played upfield.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Ajer's last involvement will be that shot on target as he replaced by Roerslev.
