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:

Barnes cuts inside again and shapes up for a long-range shot which deflects off Mings, but Martinez is quick to react and manages to keep it out with a great save.
Leicester City vs Aston Villa
Ramsey bursts forward and is brought down on the edge of the box, but Bailey picks up the loose ball, cuts inside on his left foot and pulls the trigger but his shot is blocked. Luiz - completely unmarked on the edge of the box - is furious Bailey hasn't looked up and seen him in a better position.
