Follow live coverage as Leicester City face AFC Bournemouth 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:

Leicester City vs AFC Bournemouth

Leicester City fans need no reminder of their struggles following a Premier League return this season with Steve Cooper's team still searching for an elusive first league win of the campaign. They were just minutes away from a shock draw at Arsenal last weekend, before losing 4-2 in added time, on the back of drawing with Everton and Crystal Palace. Bournemouth cruised to a 3-1 win on Monday evening as they sealed a derby victory over Southampton.
