Follow live coverage as Brentford face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

OFFSIDE! Toney produces a brilliant finish after being played through on goal and rounding Forster, but the offside flag is raised against the forward. Bissouma breathes a sigh of relief having lost possession far too easily.

Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur

Kane has been very quiet in the contest so far and is receiving a few jeers from the home fans. It hasn't been an easy re-introduction to the Premier League for the England skipper.

BLOCK! Hojbjerg gets the ball out of his feet in the final third and it allows Lenglet to shoot at goal on the run. A wall of red and white shirts converge to block his effort.

SAVE! Zanka latches on to a knockdown from Mee in the Tottenham box and swivels to fire at goal. Forster has to stick out a leg to divert his strike wide of the target.

Spurs are edging their way back into the game, but the home side have been resilient at the back and are always a threat on the counter.

SAVE! Dier works the ball to Son on the edge of the box, who turns and shoots towards goal on his left foot. Raya has to get down quickly and makes a solid stop.
