The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

That's all for today, goodbye!

That win lifts Newcastle up to 11th place, now level on points with Brentford, but they sit below the Bees on goal difference. Next up for them is the Champions League, where they face Milan on Tuesday. Brentford's unbeaten start to the season is over, and they'll be hoping to bounce back against Everton next weekend.

Newcastle get back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory against Brentford. It was a very tight first half, with both keepers making a great save apiece to keep things level. Newcastle upped the pressure after the break though, and thought they'd taken the lead when Wilson bundled it over the line, only for it to be ruled out for a foul on Flekken. Just moments later, the keeper tripped Gordon to give away a penalty which was confidently dispatched by Wilson. The hosts were awarded another penalty late on for a handball by Mbuemo, but VAR overturned the decision due to a foul on the forward just before it.

Newcastle are pressing high upfield in an attempt to keep Brentford out of their half. The visitors are still trying to pass their way out from the back, but they're running out of time.

And so is Wilson as he also aimed his frustration at the referee.

Gordon was convinced he should've had a throw-in and reacted angrily when the referee gave it Brentford's way. He's booked for dissent.

WIDE! Schar slides in with a late challenge on Wissa, and Brentford have a free-kick near the byline on the left. It's swung into the crowd, and Barnes' glancing header helps it onto Wissa, who nods it wide of the post.

Into the first of nine added minutes here, and Brentford are still on the ball. Schade carries it forward down the right, but can't pick out a cross as Newcastle have nearly everyone back in their box.
