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:
Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth
The home crowd are beginning to get a bit restless with the Cherries starting to dominate this game.
Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth
SOLANKE SHOULD SCORE! Lerma plays a delightful diagonal ball to pick out Ouattara, who then finds Solanke with a clever pass. The striker turns and shoots, but his low effort goes wide of the right post. He really has to hit the target there.
Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth
Billing has been the Cherries' main attacking threat so far, having all four of their shots and seeing a couple of great efforts denied by the post and then a brilliant stop from Iversen.

GREAT SAVE! Rothwell's corner is headed out by Amartey but only to Billing outside the box. He sets himself, before sending a rasping drive towards the bottom right corner. Unfortunately for the Denmark international, Iversen acrobatically gets across to tip it behind for a corner.

Amartey gives away a corner under pressure from Ouattara. Can Bournemouth take advantage?

The Cherries are looking to complete a league double over Leicester for the first time since the 1988-89 campaign, when the teams were in the second tier.

Kristiansen's cross looks to pick out Vardy in the middle, but his delivery is just out of the striker's reach and Bournemouth clear.
