Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Brentford 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:

Big save Sanchez! Brentford's corner is poorly dealt with by the hosts, and Collins is able to hook it back over from the right to find Norgaard in space. The Danish captain volleys for the top-right corner, yet Sanchez tips it away in agile fashion!

Sanchez saves! Norgaard lifts the ball over to Wissa and he pokes it goalwards only to be denied by the thigh of Sanchez! The acclaim doesn't last long though, as the flag goes up.

Chelsea go through Brentford like a hot knife through butter yet can't find that second goal! Palmer slides in Sancho on the left and he drives to the left byline, rounding Flekken twice before dinking over a cross that Pinnock nods away.

Chelsea counter as Jackson dispossesses Collins. The move ends with Madueke firing from the edge of the box tamely. It goes straight to Flekken.
