Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Ipswich Town 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:

Chaplin, who assumed responsibility of the captain's armband today, gets the assist for this goal. He swept the ball across half of the pitch with his left foot for Hirst to latch onto, and the striker did the rest on his first start in the Premier League!

GOOOOAL! Ipswich go ahead through Szmodics! Last season's Championship top scorer puts the away team ahead with a composed right-footed finish past Flekken! 1-0 to Ipswich, and now Brentford have to respond!
