Brentford vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Aston Villa 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:

Brentford vs Aston Villa
Sitting four points above today’s hosts in the table, 10th-placed Aston Villa come into this contest between two legs of their Champions League last-16 tie with Club Brugge. Tuesday’s 3-1 win in Belgium puts the Birmingham side in control before next week’s return, and they recently swept past Cardiff City into the FA Cup quarter-finals. However, Unai Emery’s men were beaten 4-1 by Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League, where just one of their last seven games has ended in victory.
Brentford vs Aston Villa
Yet to play this month, Brentford have had over a week to reflect on their 1-1 home draw with in-form Everton last time out. Having previously boasted one of the best home records throughout England’s top flight, the London club have not won a league game at Gtech Community Stadium since early December, losing five and drawing two of their last seven. Conversely, the Bees have claimed maximum points from four Premier League away fixtures since the turn of the year.
