Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Leicester City 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:
Manchester City vs Leicester City
OFF THE POST! How different this game could have been. Maddison with a superb through ball which slices through the City defence and plays Iheanacho through. The striker takes it in his stride and beats Ederson but his effort cannons off the post. That's two golden opportunities at the death for Smith's side.

There will be three minutes of added time to end this second half.

From the corner, Faes stoops low to get a header on goal. It strikes Gomez on the arm but the Spaniard's arm is down by his side and no penalty is given after a VAR check.

SAVE!! Goodness me, City are making a real hash of this and Leicester nearly have their second. It's sloppy from Dias and he gives away the ball cheaply at the back. Maddison latches on to the loose ball but Ederson makes a good save with his feet to deny the away side.
