Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers 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:

Guedes has been lively for Wolves and he wins a free-kick on the edge of the box after Soumare clips the winger.

Sa does very well here! Vardy races onto a get through-ball, but just as it looks like the Englishman will get to the ball, Sa comes out, chests it away, and clears it again. It didn't look compelling, but he did well.

Both teams have enjoyed little spells of possession, Wolves started first but now Leicester are taking control, with Justin pushing really high up the pitch.

A slight boost for Pereira is that Cunha is able to start, as he appealed his ban that was given to him after the Ipswich game. The Portuguese boss is without Ait-Nouri who was more unlucky as he was shown a red card after the shocking 2-1 loss last weekend. Gary O'Neil's back-three formation is also being used today, as Pereira looks to build on the small positives shown in the English coach's final few months in charge.

Van Nistelrooy has been consistent with his centre-back partnership with Coady and Vestergaard being the two favourites for him and the Dutchman will hope that the backing of those two will lead to a strong partnership to build the base of his team around. Unsurprisingly, Vardy has been one of the stars under Van Nistelrooy! The evergreen striker has got two goals in three games since the manager change.
