Follow all the action from Goodison Park
Follow live coverage as Everton 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:

McNeil, now operating on the right, combines with Young and the veteran's cross is met by Beto but he balloons his header over the crossbar. A decent opportunity for the substitute.

Brentford are continuing to probe down the left, with Lewis-Potter having the beating of Young. Eventually the play breaks down as Jensen's through pass to Mbeumo has too much on it.

Brentford are getting stronger as this half goes on, with Janelt freeing up Lewis-Potter down the left but his poor cross is gratefully claimed by Pickford in the Everton goal. A tireless performance from the fullback this afternoon.
