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.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

SCHADE HITS THE POST! So close to a second Brentford goal! Schade shows incredible pace to reach Norgaard's ball over the top and volley at goal under pressure from Neto. He connects well with his effort, but it takes a slick nick off the goalkeeper and bounces clear off the upright!

This is much better from Bournemouth, who are penning Brentford back now. Semenyo steps inside to shoot from the edge of the area, but Mee blocks it before Hickey wins a foul for his team.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

WHAT A CHANCE! Christie dances beyond Pinnock before sitting Mee down and facing up Flekken. He looks set to score a brilliant solo goal, but the midfielder neglects to pull the trigger and Solanke inadvertently prods the ball away from his team-mate! That should've been 1-1!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

Solanke is all alone on the break after a Brentford attack breaks down. He looks to beat Mee and Pinnock for pace and reach the area, but Mee steps across him to make an excellent challenge.

Jensen hurls a long throw into the Bournemouth area, but Zabarnyi heads clear before Janelt overhits his cross, sending the ball floating behind for a goal-kick.

That goal has clearly given Brentford a lift – the Gtech Community Stadium is bouncing and the Bees are buzzing around Bournemouth at every opportunity, pressing high and forcing mistakes.

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

Since the start of last season, no team have dropped more points from winning positions in Premier League home games than Brentford (15, level with Nottingham Forest). There is still hope for Bournemouth here, but they've had far from an ideal start!

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth

What a bizarre way to open the scoring! It took 13 seconds for the goal to be awarded, with Jensen's free-kick just creeping beyond Neto's goal line before he could push it out!
