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:

Leicester are just starting to up the pressure on Arsenal again as they patiently work it out from the back. Maddison can't find a way through down the right though, so they are forced to start again.

GREAT SAVE! Albrighton takes the corner short, playing a one-two with Dewsbury-Hall before lifting a good cross onto the edge of the six-yard box. Amartey leaps highest but Ramsdale stretches to get a strong hand to the header.

Soares' clearance bounces off Partey and falls kindly for Barnes on the edge of the box. He steps away from White's challenge, but then gifts it back to Soares when he tries to pick out Maddison.

Martinelli pulls it back to Odegaard and he dummies a shot before switching it out to Saka on the right instead. He cuts inside before hitting the shot, but there are a lot of bodies between him and the goal.

It's much better from Leicester, as they pass it through Arsenal quickly. Iheanacho knocks it out to Dewsbury-Hall, who fizzes it into the box and Ramsdale pushes it away. Maddison gets the loose ball and takes it around Martinelli before being dispossessed by White.
