Brentford vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Newcastle United 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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Brentford vs Newcastle United
TONEY MISSES THE PENALTY! The England striker's effort is uncharacteristically poor. It's low but too close to the middle. Pope anticipates it well and gets down to grab it!
Brentford vs Newcastle United
PENALTY TO BRENTFORD! Schade charges into space down the right and gets absolutely clattered by Botman in the box. It's an obvious penalty.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Dasilva can't get the ball past a Newcastle defender. Brentford earn a throw-in down their left that the Magpies defend easily enough.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Newcastle are beginning to take control in midfield. They've had 87 per cent possession in the last 10 minutes.
