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.

Mee has gone down off the ball and he's holding his ankle. The medical team are on to give him some treatment, but he'll be able to carry on.

This game has opened right up in the last 10 minutes or so and Barnes is almost slipped through the gap in the middle. He's forced wide by Mee but still manages to pick out Guimaraes, who fires a shot high over the bar.

Brentford look to make a quick response to going behind by working it into Newcastle's box straight from the restart. It's pulled back to Mbuemo on the edge of the box, but he slices a shot well wide.

Flekken is still complaining about the penalty being awarded against him, and the referee has had enough as he books him for dissent.

Penalty Goal Callum Eddie Graham Wilson

Brentford can't believe that the penalty has gone against them, but their arguments are falling on deaf ears. The referee shepherds them out of the box as Wilson puts the ball on the spot, but he'll have to wait a bit longer.

PENALTY TO NEWCASTLE! Hickey knocked the ball back to Flekken, not realising that Gordon was rushing in behind him. The wing-back can't stop him from getting to it, and Flekken then trips the winger as he tries to clear it. The referee takes a moment to think about it before pointing to the spot.

NO GOAL! It's a scramble in the box as Collins' header loops up into the air, and Wilson backs into Flekken. The keeper misses his punch and Gordon's shot pinballs towards goal before Wilson helps it over the line from close range. The referee says it's a foul on the keeper though, and it won't count. Still 0-0!
