Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Leicester City 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:

Arsenal vs Leicester City

BLOCK! Barnes cuts inside from the left before laying it off to Iheanacho, but White slides in to take the chance away from him. It ricochets to Barnes, who lets it bounce before firing towards goal and Tierney throws himself forward to make a vital block.

Martinelli breaks on the counter and he has acres of space to run into down the left. He switches it out to Saka on the right, but his throughball to Lacazette is cut out by Soyuncu.

Leicester are pushing forward and trying to get themselves back into this game. Maddison's cross is cleared by Gabriel, but only as far as Ndidi, who tries to lift it over the top to Iheanacho. There's too much on it though, and Ramsdale collects.

PENALTY TO ARSENAL! The referee is asked to go over to the monitor and have a look at the replays for himself. Soyuncu's arm was in an unnatural position, stretched out in front of him, and it did hit his hand, so the penalty is given!
