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

PARTEY SCORES! Martinelli swings the corner into the box and Partey just drifts into space at the near post. The Leicester defenders lose him and he's able to flick it on and it flies past Schmeichel. 1-0 Arsenal!

Leicester just can't get out of their own half at the moment, and this time, Soares picks out Saka's run down the right. He cuts inside before drilling a shot towards the near post, but it's blocked by Soyuncu.

GREAT SAVE! It's a lovely bit of build-up from Arsenal, from Martinelli to Xhaka, to Odegaard before he pokes it into the box for the Brazilian. He gets it out from under his feet before hitting the shot, but Schmeichel makes himself big to smother it before a belated offside flag goes up.

Arsenal break on the counter, and it looks like Martinelli is in behind when Xhaka tries to thread it into him. Amartey reads it well though and slides in just in time to cut it out.

Lacazette outmuscles Amartey inside Leicester's box to get hold of the ball and he pulls it back for Xhaka. He touches it back into the box, but it rolls harmlessly back to Schmeichel.
