Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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:

It has been a very even head-to-head between the pair, as they have one win each in seven confrontations. Brentford did win the reverse fixture earlier this season, while the last game at Selhurt Park ended in Palace's favour. Before that, it was five draws between the sides, ending either 1-1 or 0-0. In that sense. As such, it makes predicting this match's result that much more difficult seeing the history of this H2H.

It is also just one change to the starting XI for Brentford, which sees Yarmolyuk drop to the bench in favour of Schade .Manager Thomas Frank is maintaining his confidence in his side despite the dip in form. Seeing that they could use a win at Selhurst Park, They do have a few absentees due to injury, though only one or two of them would be in serious contention for starting.

Unsurprisingly, Oliver Glasner has largely maintained the same team from Palace's last match, a 2-0 success at West Ham. Only one change has come into the team, as Kamada makes way for Lerma. Given the form Palace are currently on, it would be unwise to make any major shake-ups to this side.

Crystal Palace have come alive over the last month, going unbeaten in six games across all competitions. Consecutive Premier League victories - both 2-0 away wins - moved them up to 12th place, and with another positive result today, they would jump ahead of their opponents in the standings. They encounter a Brentford team whose fortunes have changed of late. Just one win across nine in all competitions has the Bees drop out of contention for European football. A return to winning ways would be quite key for the side, and what better time to do it than during a London Derby?
