Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur 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:

CHANCE! It's a brilliant save from Vicario as a Brentford corner is taken short and is played back into the middle by Van den Berg from the opposite side. Substitute Schade is unmarked and meets it with a header, but the Spurs goalkeeper dives to his right and makes an acrobatic save to preserve the home side's lead!

There's a lengthy break in play as the VAR takes a look at a potential handball from Spurs goalkeeper Vicario outside his box as he comes off his line to collect a cross and gets himself into a pickle. But the referee signals the game to resume and the Tottenham custodian escapes without harm.
