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:

VAR is looking at a possible penalty to Arsenal after that last chance. When Partey headed his effort towards goal, Soyuncu had his arm outstretched and it seems to have brushed his hand on the way to goal.

GREAT SAVE AND OFF THE LINE! Odegaard's free-kick causes Leicester a whole host of problems. White pokes it towards goal and Schmeichel pushes it away before Partey follows in with a header, but Thomas gets back to the line to clear the danger.

Martinelli has been directly involved in eight goals in 18 Premier League appearances this season (five goals, three assists), two more than he registered in his first two campaigns in the competition (six in 28 games).

GOOD SAVE! It's a brilliant run from Martinelli, who cuts inside and wriggles his way past Albrighton at the byline before pulling it back to Lacazette, but his shot is blocked. It comes back to Saka, who volleys a shot on goal, and Schmeichel stretches to punch it away.

There's too much on the pass out to Xhaka, but he misjudges where he's standing and catches the ball before it goes out. The free-kick goes Leicester's way, but the visitors aren't happy that there isn't a card for the midfielder.

Arsenal take a short free-kick down the right, and when Odegaard lifts it into the box, it's cleared by Amartey. It gets as far as White, who tries to chip it over the top for Lacazette, but it bounces straight out.
