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.

Burnley vs Brentford

After a tough run of games for Brentford, which has seen them play Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City (twice), Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal all within their last eight games, Thomas Frank’s side finds itself in the relegation battle. However, they finally go in as favourites in a Premier League clash, against 19th-placed Burnley. Brentford are looking to snap a five-match winless run and a win could propel them to 14th place on the table. They have also been impacted by injuries, but the return of a few players is on the horizon.

Ahead of this fixture, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany spoke about his intentions of doing ‘something special’ in the remainder of the season. With 10 games to go and the Clarets still 10 points from safety and languishing in the relegation zone, Kompany and Burnley need that something special right away. Looking for their first league win in 11 games, they face another team in the relegation discussion in Brentford. Injuries to key players have been a big problem for Burnley, but they will look to rely on in-form striker David Datro Fofana.
