Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Brentford vs Sheffield United
Rock-bottom Sheffield United are nine points adrift of safety and have the league’s worst away record, but they’ve only lost one of the four most recent games and held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge last time out. And they’ve got the better of Brentford recently: the Blades are unbeaten in their last five fixtures, including winning the reverse 1-0 at Bramall Lane, and have outscored the Bees 8-3 in that time.
Brentford vs Sheffield United
It’s a battle between two Premier League strugglers today. Brentford are seeking to end a nine-game winless run and haven’t won at home since January 20th, drawing 3-3 with Aston Villa last time out. That result – and a further two-point deduction for Everton - leaves the Bees in 15th place, just four points clear of the drop zone with six matches left to play.
