Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Norwich 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 Norwich City

OVER!!!! Gibson slips and lets Raphinha free, galloping towards goal. He links up with Bamford to his right, who cuts inside and shoots, but his looping effort just clears the top of the bar!

CHANCE!!! James is again put into space in the box, but rather than shooting on his stronger right foot, he cuts onto his left and is dispossessed by Williams!

Leeds United vs Norwich City

NO PENALTY!! Rodrigo puts James through in the box but he goes down under pressure from Gibson! He and the rest of Leeds' players appeal, but the referee says no penalty!

McLean stands over the free-kick, but it's Rashica who strikes it. He'll wish he hadn't though, as the ball clears the crossbar by some distance and flies into the crowd.

Forshaw looks to have dispossessed Pukki but needlessly pulls him down, conceding a free-kick in shooting range for Norwich. The Canaries scored a free-kick from a very similar position on their last visit to Elland Road.

Norwich move the ball wide to Sargent, who crosses to the edge of the box. Rupp evades the challenge of Forshaw before shooting, but it's a wayward effort that flies well wide of Meslier's goal.

Pukki takes a cut-back into the box and looks to shoot, but he's quickly crowded out by five Leeds players and is dispossessed.

James bursts through the middle before feeding Dallas to his outside. The left-back looks to cross, but an Aarons block takes it behind for another Leeds corner.

Some heavy pressure from Leeds forces Norwich backwards as they look to play out from the back, but Klich shunts Lees-Melou to the floor, halting Leeds' momentum.
