Follow all the action from Elland Road
Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Manchester City 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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Leeds United vs Manchester City
Well, what a half of football that was! 52 minutes long, owing to two lengthy injury delays, the latter of which saw Dallas stretchered off, but in between that the football was mesmeric. City's early goal didn't seem to phase Leeds, who attacked with purpose, and relentlessly, throughout that half. Their final ball let them down though, and if they're to turn this game around against a side as good as City, it needs to be much better, and their defence will need to tighten up too.

Dallas and Grealish collide on the right-hand side, and Dallas is down with what looks to be a nasty injury. We look set for another lengthy period of down-time here.
