Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Crystal Palace 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:

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace

Following a first half which was tepid for the most part, Leicester clung on to their two-goal advantage throughout the second period and thereby extend their unbeaten streak against Crystal Palace to a sixth game. Dewsbury-Hall was instrumental in both goals for the Foxes, while their visitors lacked the attacking inspiration which was a feature of their strong recent run - only Zaha's strike after a twice-missed penalty gave them hope. Leicester, then, pull three points clear of Vieira's men in the table and take one step closer to a top-half finish.

Dewsbury-Hall gathers a Thomas clearing header in midfield and, faced with an opportunity to break for goal, instead heads straight for the corner flag. Surely that's it? Leicester have got this one in the bag.

SAVE! An almighty scramble ensues in the Leicester six-yard box, after Andersen nods down for Mateta to attempt a hooked finish from close range. Amartey is one of three Leicester players involved in keeping the ball out, and Schmeichel finally dives on it to secure its safety!

Though Crystal Palace have had the lion's share of possession since the interval - 60 per cent to Leicester's 40 - they have only managed two further attempts on goal. After the heroics of Monday, it has just not been their day.
