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 COME SO CLOSE!!! After some patient build up, Janelt delivers a cross into the box from deep and Mbeumo is able to head it back across goal. Ajer is there and he fires a powerful effort on target, but Sels somehow keeps it out! That's a lot better from the hosts.

The corner doesn't yield to anything, but Brentford retain the ball and recycle well.

Mbeumo continues to be Brentford's big spark! He makes another excellent run down the right touchline, riding nearly four or five challenges. But there's not enough space for him to get a cross into the box and the Bees win a corner. Can they do something from here?

Forest have a habit of starting the second half well this season. They have scored seven goals in the first 15 minutes after the break. Only Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur (both with eight) have scored more in the Premier League this season.
