Leicester City vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Aston Villa 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:

CHANCE FOR VILLA! Ramsey sends a shot from close-range over the bar. It was quite a difficult execution as the ball dropped from a height, but he got it all wrong and another chance goes begging for Villa.

You would expect Leicetser to sit back now and try and earn the draw. With it being so tight at the bottom of the table, it wouldn't be a bad point against an in-form side.

MORENO RATTLES THE WOODWORK! Buendia finds Moreno, slipping the ball to the overlapping full-back who gets towards the byline before shooting from a tight angle, and hitting the post. Leicester switched off for a moment and it could have been costly.
