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 start brightly and earn their first corner of the game. Newcastle punt the ball out for a throw-in which the hosts take long, but handle the situation admirably.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Brentford are yet to beat Newcastle in three attempts since their Premier League promotion and lost 5-1 to the Magpies earlier this season. They haven't beaten the Geordies in any league meeting since January 1948. Can the Bees sting their buoyant visitors here?
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Eddie Howe makes two changes to Newcastle from their thumping win over West Ham. Willock and Isak come in. Wilson drops to the bench, while Allan Saint-Maximin misses out through injury.
