Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Tottenham Hotspur 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 Tottenham Hotspur
Leicester’s Premier League return ends in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the King Power Stadium, despite a dominant start from the away side. Postecoglou’s men twice went close through new striker Solanke before Porro headed home Maddison’s delivery to send the visitors ahead prior to the half-hour mark. Spurs should have added to their lead but were punished for not capitalising on the one-way traffic against last season’s Championship winners. Who else could it have been, but Vardy to level the game? The Leicester striker has now scored nine Premier League goals against Tottenham, heading home after 57 minutes with a routine finish from Fatawau’s delightful right-wing cross. Vardy could have had another late on, if not for the legs of Vicario, before there was concern as Bentancur left the pitch on a stretcher with a head injury. A point apiece is how it ended, and Spurs must dust themselves down before hosting Everton on Saturday. The Foxes will take an unlikely draw, which seemed out of the question for large parts, ahead of their trip to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on the same day. That is all we have time for in this live coverage, until next time – it is goodbye for now!

CHANCE! That is the opportunity for Spurs. Bergvall angles a delightful free-kick towards the near post, where the unmarked Richarlison has to do better. The Brazil international makes a mess of the header, deflecting well wide. Postecoglou is almost on his knees on the touchline, and that will be game over.

Into the last two minutes of this clash, and Spurs are still probing for a late breakthrough. Spence looks to go past Faes but the centre-back stands his ground to protect Hermansen's goal.

Videos of Vardy's exit are already doing the rounds on social media. The Leicester striker seemed to gesture the one Premier League title on his arm, compared to Spurs' none, frustrating the away support. Will that act come back to haunt the Foxes in the closing stages?

McAteer manages his defensive duties well to intervene when Werner looks to burst down the right. Tottenham come straight back into possession, though, and there's still four minutes to play.
Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Back-to-back corners for the Foxes prove fruitless as Justin sees a half-volley blocked by a sea of white shirts. Spurs, for all their dominance, are now being put under some late pressure from the returning top-flight team.
Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Porro, whose opening goal silenced the home crowd in the first half, is struggling and unable to continue. Spence comes on for a rare Spurs appearance at right-back.
Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
CHANCE! Leicester go close to a last-gasp winner. Bergvall needlessly loses possession to Mavididi, who intercepts and races down the left before lifting towards the edge of the area. Ndidi meets it with his head, directing low towards the bottom-right corner before Vicario turns around the post.
