Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Leeds United 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.

Crystal Palace vs Leeds United
Palace's second change sees Schlupp coming on to replace Eze.

CLOSE! Eze whips in the resulting free-kick, but it's glanced away by Raphinha. Gallagher lets it bounce on the edge of the box before rifling a shot towards the far top corner, and it's just over the bar.

CHANCE! Koch has his pocket picked by Gallagher and Palace win a corner from the quick break. It's pulled back to Ward, who decides to have a go from range, and his curling shot is just wide of the far post.

Eze squares it to Zaha on the edge of the box and he helps it onto Olise. He can't find space for a shot, so feeds in Gallagher, but his low effort is blocked by Andersen.

Llorente slides in to try and stop Gallagher's run and he goes to ground in the box, with big shouts for a penalty from the fans. The referee points for a corner, and VAR agrees with his decision after a quick check.

SAVE! Olise's cross is over everyone, but Zaha picks it up at the far post. He cuts inside to get away from Koch but then drills his shot straight at Meslier.

Again, Zaha brushes Ayling aside as he knocks it past him and he fizzes a great cross into the near post this time. Mateta hits his shot first time, but he fires it high into the stands from close range.

It's getting crowded in midfield, but that means the space opens up for Zaha when McArthur wins it back. He drives down the left, but then takes a heavy touch on one of his stepovers and it's another wasted attack for Palace.

It's well worked down the left by Palace again and Eze slides it through to Zaha. It's another poor cross from him, with Llorente blocking it, and the frustration is starting to show for the hosts.

Ayling overruns the ball and catches Gallagher with his follow-through when he clears it. Nothing is given and Gallagher hops back to his feet quickly, only to take out Cooper, and the home fans really aren't happy with the referee as he gives a free-kick for that.
