Follow live coverage as Brentford face West Ham United 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.

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:

OVER! Brentford's Carvalho moves it wide to Damsgaard, whose teasing cross is nodded over by Mbeumo again, who takes a massive whack to the face from Wan-Bissaka's attempted clearance in the process. That must have hurt!

WIDE! West Ham are edging closer to an equaliser. A moment of quick intricate link-up play between Wan-Bissaka, Bowen and Antonio opens up a shooting position for the latter but he drags it narrowly wide of the near post on his left foot.

BLOCKED! A Hammers corner-kick carries through the box and goes over to an unmarked Wan-Bissaka on the far side. The former Manchester United full-back catches it pretty well but Van den Berg blocks resolutely at close-range.
