Follow live coverage as Brentford face West Ham United 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:

Todibo holds his ground well as Brentford look to get in behind West Ham, holding up Schade after Mbeumo's through ball inside Emerson. The Hammers defender brilliantly outmuscles the Bees attacker and forces the ball out for a throw. Super defending.

Brentford invite their own pressure as West Ham break from a corner. Antonio tries to play in Kudus over the half-way line but the overhit ball holds him up slightly but when Thomas Frank's side get everyone back in their box, there's no-one to hold up the play when they clear up to the half-way line.

CLOSE! Brentford's Schade bombs down the right hand side again with Emerson struggling to deal with him so far. He teases in a low cross looking for Lewis-Potter but the ball is turned clear by a glancing Wan-Bissaka touch on the slide.

OVER! West Ham come forward for the first time after a frentic opening. Soucek's blocked shot falls for Kilman, who tees up Kudus just outside the area but his effort sails well over. The Hammers have settled into the game after Brentford's shock opener.

The celebrations were halted briefly as David Coote on VAR checked whether there was an offside in the build-up to Mbeumo's goal - but the goal stands! Mbeumo has now scored 4 goals in 6 appearances in the Premier League against West Ham United.

The teams are in the tunnel and kick-off will commence shortly at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford have opened the scoring in the opening 23 seconds in both of their last two Premier League games (22 seconds v Man City, 23 seconds v Tottenham), but have gone on to lose both times. Indeed, since the start of last season the Bees have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side (36).
