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

With team-mates better placed in the centre, Ayew rather desperately attempts a shot from an angle on the right side of the box, which Thomas does well to charge down.

Maddison's attempt from the centrally-placed free-kick strikes the end of Palace's defensive wall, and Guehi prevents it travelling goalwards.

After Andersen gifts the ball to Leicester deep inside his own half, the ball breaks to Daka, who - in the process of playing in Lookman - is brought down by a lunging challenge from the recovering Palace defender. That will be a free-kick in dangerous territory, just outside the box.

From a Thomas cross into the area, Lookman is slow to react and can only divert a powerless attempt at goal, which Guaita comfortably collects.

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace

A slalom run from Maddison ends with the Leicester playmaker falling to the turf on the right side of the area, under presure from two Palace defenders, but no foul is given.

Maddison's outswinging corner from the right finds Justin unmarked in the centre of the area, but the full-back's header is nodded away from goal by the well-placed Ward.

SAVE! Flinging himself upwards to tip Tielemans' 20-yard strike over the crossbar, Guaita makes a sharp save right at the start of the second half. That's the Leicester midfielder's second attempt from range, and he's getting closer!

We are back under way in Leicester!

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace

The home side were totally on top at the climax of the first half, but have a stark reminder still in their collective memory about the fragility of a two-goal advantage. Though the Foxes went 2-0 up in October's reverse fixture at Selhurst Park, they contrived to throw away that half-time lead - drawing 2-2 after conceding second-half goals to Schlupp and Olise.

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace

A rather aimless affair seemd to be meandering to its conclusion with 10 minutes to play before the half-time whistle, but a double intervention from Dewsbury-Hall has put Leicester in control at the King Power against an off-colour Crystal Palace side. The same XI that started the win over Arsenal have been a pale shadow of their former selves so far today, with the visitors managing only one shot on target in the first 45 minutes. Leicester were marginally the better side, but now head down the tunnel with a significant lead to defend.
