Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers 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:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford
That's a few decent chances for Wolves in the last couple of minutes, they seem to be getting a lot of joy down the right as all of their opportunities have come from that side. Brentford need to tighten up down the flank.

Lewis-Potter gives the ball away to Semedo in the final third and he races forward and gets a shot away at goal, but it lacks power and Flekken gets down and makes a good save.

CHANCE! Munetsi races in behind the Brentford defence after a lovely flick on down the right wing and he races clear with only Flekken to beat, however, he drags his strike well wide of the Brentford goal. He should be doing better there.

Wolves have lost their final league match in each of the last seven seasons by an aggregate score of 19-2. They’ve also lost their last match in nine of their 10 campaigns as a Premier League side, with the exception a 2-1 win over Sunderland in 2009-10.

Good chance! Wolves work the ball well down the right and a cross comes in, with Cunha able to meet it at the far post, but his header is too close to Flekken, who makes a good save.

It's Wolves with the majority of the poessession early on, but Brentford are keeping their shape and not allowing them any time or space in the final third. Cunha just managed to get a shot away, but the strike is poor and flies well wide.

Slow start here by both sides, there's not much urgency to get forward and create an early opportunity. Wolves managed to win a corner down the right, with Lewis-Potter making the block, but the resulting set piece comes to nothing.

A long throw-in from Kayode causes problems in the Wolves half, as it flies over the top of the home side's defence with Wissa chasing after it. Sa has to come out and make the clearance.
