Follow live coverage as Burnley face Southampton in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

Romeu intercepts a Taylor pass and puts Walker-Peters into space, but his cross from the byline is dealt with by Tarkowski and Burnley clear their lines!

Ward-Prowse has been a busy man in the middle of the park, completing four key passes and a shot on target from that free-kick. He's also completed three crosses from 11 attempts, maintaining a passing accuracy of 95.8 per cent inside Burnley's half.

A flick-on from the corner almost finds Tarkowski at the far post, but the Burnley captain was offside, meaning a potential goal wouldn't have counted anyway.
