Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Brentford in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Wolves secured their second consecutive win to take a step closer to Premier League survival after beating Brentford. The home side almost took an early lead when Lemina unleashed a curling effort from outside the box, but his attempt was pushed over by Raya. Brentford were winless win in four games and failed to test Sa before Costa scored his first Wolves goal. Toti's cross found the striker in the middle of the box, with Norgaard's attempted clearance bouncing off the foot of the striker and past Raya. Costa was denied a second just after half-time by the Spaniard before Hwang doubled Wolves' advantage. Pinnock inadvertently played Nunes' cross into the path of the substitute, with the South Korean having a simple finish from close range. Sa stopped Brentford from mouting a comeback, getting low to stop Janelt's header from creeping into the bottom corner, with Toney hitting the post with seconds remianing.

POST! Brentford almost get one back. Janelt recives the ball on the edge of the box and rolls it into the path of Toney who rushes beyond him. He crashes a shot towards the goal from the left side of the box, but it hits the post and away from danger.
