Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Brentford 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:

Ipswich Town vs Brentford

Brentford have scored 4+ goals in eight different Premier League games this season, the most of any side. On just three occasions have the Bees score four or more goals in nine games across a league campaign, doing so in 1930-31, 1962-63 and 1982-83 (9 each time).

First chance falls to Ipswich. Hutchinson cuts onto his left foot and whips the ball into the box. Delap manages to get a clean header, however it’s a comfortable stop for Flekken in the Brentford net.

As we approach kick off, both sides will be eager for a victory for very different reasons. Ipswich are now playing for pride and to bow out of the Premier League on a high. Meanwhile, Brentford will be keen to secure a top eight finish to have a chance of European football next season. Opta pre-match have Brentford as the heavy favourites, giving them a 59% chance of victory. On the other hand, Ipswich are only given a 19.5% chance of coming away today with all three points. Back in October, todays visitors came away with a 4-3 victory in a crazy game at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Thomas Frank has opted to go with the same lineup as he has done in the previous three matches. Brentford’s front four of Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade, and Wissa have scored a combined eight goals in the previous three matches. The likes of Pinnock, Henry and Jensen find themselves struggling to get back into a winning Brentford side.

Ipswich only make the one change to their side that drew 2-2 at Everton last time out. Woolfenden drops to the bench as Tuanzebe comes in. It is expected that O’Shea may shift from right back to centre back, with Tuanzebe taking up the right back role.
