Brentford vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Crystal Palace 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:

SAVE! Wharton again tries his luck from distance with a dipping effort, though Flekken does well to get down to his left and palm the strike away from danger. That could've been an awkward one for the Brentford goalkeeper.

Edouard has scored in just one of his last 37 substitute appearances in the Premier League (v Manchester City - April 2024). He'll be hoping to improve on that poor record with a goal here.

CLOSE! Kamada cuts the ball back for Wharton outside the box. The midfielder fires goalwards, though a pair of Brentford deflections ensure the ball flies wide of the target.

Collins is called into action at the other end to deflect Mitchell's threatening low cross behind for a corner. It's been a solid defensive display so far from the Bees.

CHANCE! A deep cross is flicked on by Pinnock, though Collins can't get the contact he wants on the ball and it is collected by Henderson between the Palace sticks.
