Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face AFC Bournemouth today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Brentford vs AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth head to Brentford on the back of a superb Premier League win at home to defending champions Manchester City last weekend which ended Pep Guardiola's top-flight unbeaten run at 32 games. That result followed Andoni Iraola's side beating Arsenal 2-1 and securing a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa in a total of seven points against teams who finished in the top four last season. Hosts Brentford have won just one of their last three league games, but they have won four and drawn once, in a unbeaten start to the campaign on home soil in the Premier League.
