Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 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:
Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth
The visitors get us back underway for the second half. Can they cling on for three huge points?

The Foxes were booed off at the end of that first half having failed to record an attempt on target. They have produced very little going forward, and that will have to change if they are to avoid what could be a huge defeat in their fight against the drop.

The referee blows the whistle to bring the first half to an end with the Cherries taking a fully deserved 1-0 lead into the break. They have been much the brighter of the two teams, with Billing hitting the post with a free-kick before Iversen made a great stop to deny the Bournemouth man's long-range effort. The Denmark international would give his team the lead before the break, though, taking full advantage of Maddison's terrible backpass to bury his shot into the bottom corner and put his side in front at the interval.
