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
WHAT A CHANCE! It is glorious football from Leicester as they play through the lines, starting with an incisive pass from Faes. De Cordova-Reid receives a short offload before sending Vardy on his way, but the Foxes striker can only fire a left-footed effort low at the legs of Vicario. A huge opportunity goes amiss.

It is more like basketball than football now, with either side intent on racing down the other end as fast as possible. When the chance for a breather does arise, it seems like Postecoglou is going to opt for a quadruple change. The Australian has clearly seen enough since Vardy's leveller.

WIDE! The Foxes continue pressing high, turning over possession before Fatawu finds space on the right-hand side. The winger touches through for Ndidi, who lashes a right-footed effort into the side-netting. Vicario seemed to have it covered either way.

Postecoglou may soon look to his bench, with Leicester now controlling possession and looking like competing on their top-flight return. Cooper will be delighted, having watched his side suffer before responding with the routine header from Vardy.
Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham managed 69.3% of the possession in the opening 15 minutes of this half, but appear slightly rattled after Vardy's leveller, which was Leicester's first shot on target. The King Power falls silent, though, before Maddison loses possession needlessly.

The noise is almost deafening inside the King Power as Maddison concedes a needless free-kick midway inside the Spurs half. The visitors deal with the set-piece, however, as Leicester ramp up the pressure for their first real spell of note in this encounter.

Leicester want a penalty! Fatawu spins Udogie before going down inside the area, but the referee waves away any claims for a spot-kick. The VAR has a quick check while play goes on, but it seems the on-field decision will remain.
Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Vardy has scored nine Premier League goals against Tottenham, only netting more goals in his league career against Arsenal and Watford (11 each). The veteran striker is the hero once more in the top flight, and Leicester's supporters are letting everyone know their feelings towards him!
