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:

Williams is fouled just inside Brentford's half and the wing-back looks in some discomfort. He's down at the moment, but he's helped to his feet by Murillo and it seems he'll be okay.

SO CLOSE TO AN OPENER!! It's Forest who put together a really good attack this time as Hudson-Odoi rides a few challenges before sending the ball out wide to the left. Anderson puts the ball into the box with Wood the obvious target and the striker gets his head to it well, but the effort is hit straight at Flekken, who manages a brilliant reflex save to parry it out.

It's been a good start from Brentford, but you get the sense the fans are just growing a bit impatient as we get closer to half-time.

Hudson-Odoi tries to unleash Elanga down the left hand side after the winger tried his best to bend his run and avoid straying offside, and he does, but the flag is up. Elanga was off by just a few yards.

An animated Nuno shouts some more instructions from the touchline. This is perhaps not the start he was envisioning for his side.
