Southampton vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. Mary's Stadium
Follow live coverage as Southampton face Brentford in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

Southampton vs Brentford
Brentford bounce back from their defeat at the hands of Everton with a 2-0 win over Southampton in their Premier League clash. Ivan Toney put the visitors ahead in the first half from close range, but they were forced to wait until stoppage time in the second half to kill off the contest through Yoane Wissa, who wrapped up the three points. The Saints lacked a clinical edge in the final third as Che Adams missed their best opening when his strike was cleared off the line. Brentford edge closer to the European spots, while Southampton remain rooted to the foot of the table.
