Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Leicester City today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Fulham have eased off on their press no longer smelling blood, allowing the visitors to approach the halfway line before then applying pressure. The newly promoted side aren’t used to this pressure.

Muniz almost doubled the lead in as many minutes as he headed the ball narrowly wide. After a glorious cross from the left side of the box he ran onto the pass but was unable to control his header as he put so much effort to reach the ball. But Fulham look in the mood now.

De Cordova-Reid with a long-range effort against his former side, looking to catch Leno napping in goal. But the distance it was struck from was to far to trouble the German as he turned it for a corner. That was the first chance for Leicester, but not a troublesome one.
