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.

Nottingham Forest vs Brentford

Wide! Mbeumo sends a disappointing corner in low towards the near post, and Ajer can only flick it comfortably off target.

Unlucky! Aurier almost latches onto a beautifully weighted pass over the top of Brentford's backline, but his touch just lets him down under pressure from Flekken and it goes behind.

Brentford's corner is flicked on dangerously by Collins, but Forest clear it at the second attempt. The hosts then launch a counter-attack, but Sangare wastefully shoots against the legs of a visiting defender from range.

Brentford threaten for the first time as Hickey steps inside before looking for the run of Lewis-Potter with his throughball into the area. Murillo gets across to make a crucial challenge, and Brentford have to settle for a corner.

WIDE! Awoniyi cuts inside from the left before releasing to Elanga on the right side of the box. The Swede drives past his marker before shooting, but his low effort is just wide of the near post!

Nottingham Forest vs Brentford

Brentford are looking to avoid suffering three successive league defeats for the first time since April. We're past the 20-minute mark and the Bees have had to do the majority of the defending, but they are yet to concede a clear-cut chance.

Nottingham Forest vs Brentford

Brentford have finally settled into a better rhythm on the ball. Ajer gets forward on the overlap, but Hudson-Odoi tracks back well to make a well-timed slide tackle.
