Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town 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:

For Leiciester, who were eliminated by Manchester United in the EFL Cup in midweek, they make just two changes from their last Premier League match, both coming at the back.

Hirst and Cajuste drop to the bench, with Delap and Morsy taking their places, respectively. Janoi Donacien, Jacob Greaves, Jack Taylor, and Axel Tuanzebe all remain out through injury.

Ipswich Town vs Leicester City

It is a battle between two sides who were promoted from the Championship from last term. Both head-to-heads in the second tier in 2023/24 ended 1-1, with this game being their first in the Premier League since 2001. Leicester have fared better since returning to the Premier League, with nine points from as many matches. They fell 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest week Friday, with the Foxes looking for a second away win in the league this season. For Ipswich, they are still awaiting their maiden success in their long-awaited return to the top flight. The former UEFA Cup winners lost 4-3 at Brentford last time out, the most they have scored in a league match this campaign.
