Follow live coverage as Fulham face Brentford 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:

The visitors look to threaten at the other end, but Lewis-Potter's cross is easily gathered by Leno.

WIDE! After Brentford fail to clear, Berge finds Nelson, who manages to get away from a couple of defenders and advance into the box. However, he drags his shot wide of Flekken's near post. That was a decent opportunity for the hosts to break the deadlock.

Fulham vs Brentford

Fulham are aiming to extend their unbeaten streak in Premier League London derbies to six matches. The Cottagers are currently on their longest such run since going seven without defeat during the 2006-07 season.

GOOD BLOCK! Fulham put another lovely move together to work their way into the Brentford box. However, Collins makes a well-timed sliding intervention to divert Smith Rowe's shot away from goal.

With two shots and three touches in the opposing box, it has been a promising start to what is only Nelson's second Premier League start since July 2020.

Nelson leads Fulham's charge again with a strong run from just inside his own half, and into the Brentford area. However, he takes a heavy touch at an inopportune moment, and the ball trickles behind for a goal-kick.

Fulham vs Brentford

There is a concern for Brentford as Flekken goes down and is in need of attention. The goalkeeper eventually gets to his feet and will continue for now. The visitors will hope it is nothing too serious.

Good defending! Lewis-Potter hooks a ball over the top of the Fulham defence for Mbeumo to run onto. However, Robinson anticipates the danger well, and does just about enough to shepherd the ball away from the Brentford forward.

SAVES! Fulham continue their bright start with Nelson driving down the left. The winger then drills a low effort that is blocked by Flekken, who is quickly to his feet to deny the same player's follow-up from a tight angle.

Fulham vs Brentford

Jimenez has scored 10 goals in his last 13 Premier League starts. Although he did not execute that effort as intended, the former Wolves striker will now be all the more determined to make the most of the next opportunity that falls his way.
