Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Leicester City 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:
Fulham vs Leicester City
The second most fouled player in the Premier League last season, Ayew (93), has taken just 30 seconds to be fouled for the first time while wearing a Leicester shirt.

De Cordova-Reid struggled to leave an impression on the game against his former side and he has made way for Ayew to make his debut for Leicester.

Vardy is struggling. He is isolated up front, every time he has possession he keeps gifting it back to Fulham. And this has been more evident in the last two attacking moves from Leicester. Had he played the ball to a team mate they would have been in on goal.

Tete sends his header over the bar. Another missed effort for the home side as he got to a corner. At this minute and time Fulham could not hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
Fulham vs Leicester City
Fulham have been impressive in everything they have done since the break except when they have the chance to complete the final pass or to have an effort at goal. If they find their shooting boots the Foxes could be going home with their tails firmly between their legs, but at the minute luck is favourable to them when Fulham shoot.
Fulham vs Leicester City
Somehow, Leicester have managed to look even less competent in this match as they struggle to piece a pass together and get out of their half. They are inviting constant pressure from Fulham.

WHAT A CHANCE! An idiotic mistake by Faes, as he tried to back heel the ball past Traore on the edge of the box but gifted the ball to the winger. He moved the ball swiftly across the box to Muniz, but he blasted the ball over the bar under pressure from Vestergaard. The Belgian has been spared his blushes, but what was he thinking?
Fulham vs Leicester City
Fulham almost take the lead as Vestergaard heads the ball onto the roof of his own net. Almost the worst start to the second half for the visitors.
