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.

There's a mix-up between Rodrigo and Phillips and Ayew comes away with it. Leeds flood bodies back into their own half though, and Palace can't take advantage of the mistake.

CHANCE! Palace work it well down their right, with Clyne sliding it forward for Ayew, who swings a first-time cross into the middle. Zaha rises highest but gets caught under it, and his header loops into Meslier's gloves.

Leeds have won their last two league games against Palace, though both were at Elland Road. They're looking to complete their first league double over the Eagles since 1994-95, while they've never won three consecutively against them before.

Clyne tries to go long for Mateta again, and the forward gets in behind Dallas again. There's too much on the pass though, and Meslier comes out to collect it.

Palace are patiently trying to work it out from the back and Guehi almost gets caught on the ball by James. He hooks it away, putting Zaha under pressure from Rodrigo in the process, but the hosts play themselves out of trouble.

CHANCE! It's a wonderful long ball forward from Clyne and Mateta is sprinting onto it. He gets there ahead of Llorente and tries to chip it over the outrushing Meslier. The goalkeeper gets a touch and Llorente gets across to clear it at the far post.
