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

SAVE! So much happening there and Burnley survive twice. First, Bruun Larson gets through in the box, takes a shot on the left, but Flekeen saves it. Not long after, Flekken rolls the ball out to clear, Fofana sneaks in from behind and wins the ball, but cannot do much as Flekken pokes it away for a corner.

BIG CHANCE! Brentford this time with a massive chance. Toney sends Wissa through on goal with only Muric to beat. The goalkeeper makes a superb stop to send it away from goal. He has been very impressive on debut.

FIVE MINUTES added time in this first half, primarily owing to that lengthy VAR check early on. Burnley have had 13 touches so far in the opposition box to Brentford's nine.

Odobert for Burnley comes inside and lets one rip rom 22 yards. The ball rises well over the bar though.

HUGE MISS! Shocker off a miss that from Fofana and it comes just a week after his brilliant strike against West Ham. Asignon does so well to dribble past a defender in the box on the right, then finds an empty Fofana three yards from goal, but Fofana misses.

Chants of 'Come on Burnley' across Turf Moor. Kompany does not seem happy with his players for their inability to keep possession so far and he seems quite animated on the touchline.

A free-kick for Burnley on the half-way line. The balls falls to Esteve in the box but he cannot control it well enough and its a goal kick for Brentford.

Burnley are now looking to be more proactive. They sense that another goal before half-time could make things extremely tricky for the 10-man Brentford.

Not much happening in these last couple of minutes but Burnley definitely not looking comfortable at the back especially.

Burnley find something to get the home crowd going. An attacking move finds Bruun Larsen in the box who takes a shot on his left foot, but is denied by a solid block from Ajer.
