Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
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
It's another sloppy pass from Leeds, with Dallas gifting it to Zaha this time. He tries to lay it off to Eze, but Cooper slides in with an important, well-timed tackle to block his run.

Raphinha goes long with a throw-in and Cooper flicks it on at the near post. It bounces nicely for Dallas, who hits the shot on the half-volley. Guehi makes a block, which causes the players to collide, but they don't need treatment.

Harrison does brilliantly down the left, weaving his way past three Palace defenders to get space for a cross. He hits it against McArthur, and there are half-hearted shouts for a penalty, but his arm was tight to his side when he made the block.

It's a loose flick on by Rodrigo and he scrambles back as Zaha latches onto it. He tries to slide in Mateta with an early throughball, but it's overhit straight to Meslier.

Ayling hooks the ball away from his own box and it ends up being a good pass to James. He holds it up well before laying it off to Harrison, but his curling shot is blocked by Guehi.

Rodrigo hits his clearance straight at Zaha on the edge of the box, and he tries to take it past Ayling with some clever footwork. He ends up fouling the defender though, and Leeds have a free-kick.

It's better from Leeds now and they're working it nicely down the left. Dallas plays it inside to Rodrigo, who spins before sliding a throughball into the box. There's no one there for the visitors though and it harmlessly rolls out.

GREAT CHANCE! Palace move it quickly again, with Gallagher going long to Ayew down the right. He whips another good cross into the box and Meslier misses it. Llorente is behind him and the ball hits the defender before bouncing wide off Mateta's shin.
