The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Burnley vs Brentford

As the medics continue to treat Roerslev, both teams are looking at possible subs. It looks like Brentford are preparing for a double change. Roerslev is back on his feet thankfully.

The medical team is out to check on Roerslev after he gets hit by a boot in the face. They are trying to stop the bleeding and there is a break in play.

High pressure from Burnley! Chance after chance, attack after attack.

SAVE! Burnley at it again! Taylor plays a lovely ball into the box from the left off a free-kick and tries to find a red shirt. But Onyeka nervously clears it away.

First potent attack of the half from Burnley. They work it well to Bruun Larsen down the line and he smashes one across the face of goal from the left. Vitinho charges in to find a touch but just cannot connect.

If the second half is anything like the first, we're in for a thriller. No changes from either team and Burnley get things underway.

Burnley created so many more chances and the xG (expected goals) shows just that. Burnley had an xG of 2.06 in the first half to Brentford's 0.56. Fofana leading the Clarets' tally with an xG of 0.91. Changes in the second half? We'll know soon.

A chaotic start, a comparatively subdued middle, and a chaotic end to that first half. No shortage of drama whatsoever. Brentford went downt to 10 men in just nine minutes as Reguilon was sent off. Bruun Larsen converted the resulting penalty to put the Clarets ahead. Brentford certainly had their chances, but Burnley had the better ones throughout that half and came so close to doubling their lead right at the end of the half. Stay tuned for the second half.
