Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Southampton 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.

FULL TIME: LEEDS UNITED 1 SOUTHAMPTON 1 - The full time whistle sounds and we have no late goal twist from either team, having to settle for a 1-1 draw. Leeds started the second half with the 1-0 advantage, but a super free kick from Ward-Prowse was able to level the scores in the 49th minute. Both teams had their opportunities on goal in the second half, but neither were able to give their team the advantage. Gelhardt was very prominent for Leeds when he entered the game, having support from Raphinha. Southampton was well led in the back by Salisu and Walker-Peters.

The Leeds defence are looking to slow down the pace of the game, as they attempt to play the game on their terms. Time may be a factor they are up against, so they need to get a move on.
