Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Fulham 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 Fulham
First-half chance of the game as Traore's hooked cross drops for Jimenez eight yards out but his scuffed effort is deflected behind for a Fulham corner.
Brentford vs Fulham
A really bright start here from Brentford with the hosts dominating the early possession. No chances at either end just yet as Cavlin Bassey needs some treatment for an injury.
Brentford vs Fulham
Fulham lost 3-1 at home Everton last weekend and Marco Silva shuffles his options as captain Robinson starts in place of Sessegnon at left-back. Lukic comes in to stiffen up the midfield, in place of Pereira, and Traore is preferred to Wilson on the right-side of Fulham's attack.

Frank keeps with his tried and trusted - and who can blame the Dane based on Brentford's recent form? The home side are unchanged from last weekend's 1-0 win at relegated Ipswich Town. Mbeumo and Wissa are both on 18 league goals this season, with two games left, as they aim to match Ivan Toney as the only Brentford player to score 20 in a single Premier League campaign.

Brentford vs Fulham
Fulham's recent run of results is the polar opposite of their hosts, as they sit 11th in the table, with just one Premier League win in their last five games. Also, Crystal Palace's superb FA Cup final win over Manchester City yesterday means neither of these sides can now qualify for European competition next season, with the UEFA Conference League place taken by whoever finishes 7th.
