Newcastle vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Willock gives Magpies win

24 mins: Rodri receives the ball well outside the box and hits one from range but smokes his effort high and wide.

City come again down the right side and slip Bernardo Silva to the byline. He keeps the ball alive and looks to flick it over Rice Henry’s head.

The defender sticks out an arm and stops the ball sending City erupting in appeals for handball and a penalty.

20 mins: City are controlling the possession now as Brentford sit back and look to hold their lead. It’s no more than they deserve after this start though, Thomas Frank’s side have created three or four good chances already.

Brentford are unbeaten in 15 Premier League games when opening the scoring (W12 D3).

16 mins: Brentford take the lead!

The Bees win a free kick inside their own half and David Raya belts it long up the pitch. Ben Mee wins the initial ball and nods it into the box for Ivan Toney.

He climbs over Aymeric Laporte and turns a header of his own past Ederson to send Brentford in front.

15 mins: Good defending from Brentford! City recover the ball inside their own half and look to kick forward on the counter. De Bruyne carries the ball up the pitch before sliding it to Phil Foden on the left wing.

Erling Haaland makes a run into the area as Brentford scramble to get men back to defend. Foden decides not to pass to him and cuts the ball back to De Bruyne who shoots from the edge of the box and sees Frank Onyeka block the effort.

12 mins: City’s corner results in Haaland taking a snapshot on the left side of the box but Ben Mee gets across and blocks the effort before Brentford clear their lines.

City have started to settle into the game although Ederson scuffs a pass over to the right wing and sends it out for a Brentford throw-in.

9 mins: Oh close! City push up the pitch and work the ball around the edge of the penalty area as Brentford get men back to defend. Kevin De Bruyne floats a cross over to the back post where Erling Haaland shuffled in behind the back line.

He meets the ball on the volley but doesn’t have an angle to shoot. Instead he dinks it back across goal to set up Ilkay Gundogan but the ball just drops over the top of the midfielder’s head and Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen turns it behind for a corner.

6 mins: Chances! Brentford are on the front foot and Ederson is keeping City in the game. The Bees sweep up the pitch on the counter attack with Rice Henry bringing the ball down the left wing.

He sends an early cross into the box and Ederson flaps it over to Bryan Mbeumo. He squares the ball to Ivan Toney who has plenty of time to set himself.

He should score really but Ederson leaps across to the right and clings onto the ball and Toney turns it towards goal. Great opportunity for Brentford to take the lead.

3 mins: Chance! Brentford have the first real opportunity to score as the ball is booted up the pitch. It gets headed down to Rice Henry who slides a hopeful pass into the box.

Frank Onyeka makes a run from deep in midfield and flies through the lines before collecting the ball and taking a right-footed shot. Ederson is quick off his line though and he charges down the attacker blocking the effort with his chest.

Good save from the Man City goalkeeper.

The Bees get the match underway and work the ball over to the left side of City’s final third. The visitors send the ball into the penalty area but Manuel Akanji gets to the aerial ball and nods it clear.

Pep Guardiola and Thomas Frank bring wreaths out onto the pitch, laying them down by the touchline. There’s a minute’s silence before kick-off.
