Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face AFC Bournemouth 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:

HOW HAS THAT NOT GONE IN!?!? A ball is whipped into the Leicester box, and Mepham rises highest to meet it. His header is saved by Iversen, and it becomes pinball in the area as a couple of Bournemouth players have a stab at forcing it in. The Foxes' defenders do just about enough to keep it out though, and they remain just a goal behind.

IMPORTANT SAVE! Bournemouth nearly double their lead moments after the restart as Billing finds Solanke with a neat pass. The strike manages to dig a shot out, but Iversen is able to stop it with his foot.
