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.

Newcastle United vs Brentford

Anderson does well to open up a pocket of space down the left and he lifts a cross into the middle for Wilson. Norgaard sticks out a leg just in time to get it away from him, and Anderson can't swing it in a second time.

Guimaraes curls a good pass forward, and it looks like Pinnock has it covered, but Gordon still chases him all the way. It's knocked back to Flekken, who properly clears the danger.

Norgaard outmuscles Schar to win the ball back just outside the Newcastle box, and it's quickly switched to Mbuemo on the right. He tries to scoop it in from the byline but sends it into the side netting.

Mbuemo has so much space to run into down the right, and he takes it to the byline before pulling it back into the middle. It's too far in front of Janelt at the near post, and Botman clears his lines before Wissa can get to it.

Brentford neatly play themselves out of a tight spot in their own half, but they can't find a way forward. Norgaard tries to dart through the middle, only to run into Anderson, and the visitors have to go back to their keeper.

Newcastle move it quickly down their right once more, with Guimaraes nodding it out to Gordon. He bursts past Henry before lifting a deep cross into the box that clears everyone in the middle.

GOOD SAVE! Hickey's initial route to goal is blocked, but the half-clearance falls to Jensen, who picks out the midfielder with a clever reverse pass. This time, the defender hits a shot, which takes a deflection, but Pope gets behind it.

Newcastle are looking to make a quick start to this game as they work it quickly upfield. Trippier finds space down the right and tries to clip it to Wilson on the edge of the box, but Mee hooks it away.
