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:

That's Toney's 18th goal of the season, and his third in four appearances against Newcastle. He's in fine form and loves scoring against his former club.

There'll be at least three minutes of added time before half-time. It's been quite a stop-start half, so that doesn't feel like much, but oh well.

PENALTY TO BRENTFORD! The referee Chris Kavanagh heads over to the pitchside monitor to watch the incident back for himself. It only takes a few seconds for him to make his mind up. He points to the spot. Isak bows his head, and Toney will get the chance to redeem himself!
