Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Leeds United in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

AFC Bournemouth vs Leeds United

For all their pressure after going 3-1 down, Leeds have rarely looked like breaking through since Neto's series of saves almost 15 minutes ago. Surely, their race is run.

Not long after coming on from the bench, Moore has sustained an injury - it does not look good for the Bournemouth striker, who seems set to be replaced.

CLOSE! Lerma steals the ball deep in Leeds territory, but then opts against trying for a hat-trick. When the ball is recycled and is sent in from the right, Moore's diving header misses the target by a whisker!

Defending with great determination, Anthony deals well with the threat of Summerville on the edge of his own area, drawing a foul and earning his side a free-kick to both ease the pressure and eat up a little more time.

Over the last 15 minutes, Leeds have had 83 per cent of possession and 43 per cent of the action has been in Bournemouth's defensive third. They are throwing everything at their hosts now.

DOUBLE STOP! Again, Neto preserves his team's advantage. The Bournemouth skipper first punches away a close-range header by Koch, then Gnonto's follow-up is saved in the bottom-right corner! Great goalkeeping!
