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:

Spurs have generated an xG of 1.29 in the early stages of this first period, having attempted 10 shots of which four have been on target. Surely, it's going to be only a matter of time before they pull them into the lead here?

Udogie bursts forward with the ball down the left-hand side and gets inside the box. He looks up but fails to find one of his Spurs teammates around and the chance is gone for Postecoglou's side.

There's no let-off for the visitors as Spurs continue to push forward for their second goal and Frank's side are forced to commit bodies inside their box to stop the Tottenham attacks.

It's a free-kick for Brentford after Solanke barges into the back of Janelt, but the delivery from the set piece is disappointing and can be comfortably collected by Spurs goalkeeper Vicario.

Finally, some time to breath here in north London as Johnson concedes a free-kick in the Spurs attacking third. It has been a lively game this one and the home side have dominated it since that early Brentford opener.

Brentford once again give away possession in their defensive third, but this time, Solanke cannot bring the ball under his control and Janelt and Pinnock combine to clear away the threat.

That was Solanke's third goal in four appearances in the Premier League against Brentford, and it is one that lifts the pressure off the 27-year-old's shoulders following his high-profile move to Tottenham in the summer.

Spurs have shifted into a higher gear here and the shots are raining down on Flekken's goal -- the latest is a low drive from Johnson that rolls inches wide of the goal!
