Follow live coverage as Liverpool 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:

Liverpool vs Brentford

After Arne Slot won his first Premier League game, away to Ipswich Town last week, today he aims to become the first Liverpool boss to win his first two top-flight fixtures since Graeme Souness did so in 1991. Almost inevitably, Mohamed Salah scored again on the opening weekend, as the Reds ran out 2-0 winners at Portman Road. Now, they will seek to extend a run stretching back to 1939, in which they have won all of their five meetings with Brentford at Anfield, keeping a clean sheet on each occasion.
