Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Brighton & Hove Albion 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 Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton move the ball around well here, yet Brentford are set really deep with a stubborn shape that makes infiltration difficult. Pedro is forced to fire from range, and whizzes one high of Flekken's goal.

After a brief lull, Wissa tries to jink away through the centre, but is stifled straight away. His head drops but Brentford come again.

Dunk slides in Estupinan well down the left of the home box and he plays it back for Welbeck. However, under pressure from Van den Berg, his shot goes comfortably wide of the left post.

Schade is, again, a target of a sweeping ball forward. However, Wieffer wins his battle well and darts out before Brentford get bodies back behind the ball to slow the game down.

Wieffer is played in on the right of the box and is covered immediately to win a corner on the right. O'Riley takes but Van Hecke can't keep his header down before Pedro is pushed out by Kayode.

Mbeumo cuts in on the right side and curls a great ball into the Brighton box. Schade rises, but his header is poor and straight at the feet of Verbruggen.

A long looping ball nearly sets Schade free, yet the Seagulls' defence just about manage to flick it away from the dangerous German.

DUNK! Careful! The centre-back plays a dodgy pass back to Verbruggen and Mbeumo nearly intercepts! The Dutch keeper has to power clear.

O'Riley's cross from the right is deflected behind, and a corner from the left follows. This flies in, but Brentford can head out.
