Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Brentford 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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Leicester City vs Brentford
Maddison is felled by Jensen, in a really dangerous shooting position. You'd expect Maddison to take it, and he is certainly capable of finding the back of the net from here.
Leicester City vs Brentford
A long ball into the hosts' box reaches Mbeumo at the back post. The winger tries to hook it back across goal for a teammate, but Justin is there to clear it for a throw-in.
Leicester City vs Brentford
Jansson makes an important interception in the box, as Iheanacho tried to cleverly flick the ball to Barnes. The former Leeds defender is able to reach it though, before hammering the ball upfield.
Leicester City vs Brentford
Pinnock chucks a long-throw into the Leicester box, and after a bit of head-tennis the hosts finally hack it clear. That wasn't overly convincing defending though by the Foxes, and the visitors will hope to create chances from those sort of situations in the remaining 65 minutes.
