Follow live coverage as Fulham face Brentford today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:

Fulham vs Brentford

The referee blows the full-time whistle as Fulham defeat Brentford 3-1 at Craven Cottage. The hosts started the first half brightly, but it was the visitors who took the lead after a poor pass from King was intercepted by Damsgaard who slotted past Leno into the bottom-right corner of the net. The Cottagers eventually equalised after a mix-up in the Bees' defence allowed Iwobi to half-volley a close-range effort past the hapless Kelleher. Iwobi turned provider 98 seconds later as he set up Wilson, who finished brilliantly into the bottom-left corner of the net to give the hosts the lead. Marco Silva's men extended their lead in the second half after Sessegnon's cross from the left flank was inadvertently diverted into the net by Brentford's Pinnock. The home side were clinical in front of goal and this was reflected through an xG of 0.99, whereas Keith Andrew's men struggled in the final third, highlighted through an xG of 0.63. The result means Fulham sit in seventh place in the Premier League table with eight points, whereas the visitors languish in 17th place with four points. Next up for the Cottagers is a third-round Carabao Cup tie against Cambridge United on Tuesday before travelling to face Aston Villa in the league next Sunday. For Brentford, they will host Manchester United next Saturday with former winger Bryan Mbeumo returning to the Gtech Community Stadium. Thank you for reading and take care!
