Follow live coverage as Norwich City face Burnley 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:

Burnley have enjoyed more time on the ball so far but Norwich are looking threatening on the break. It's usually the other way around.

Pukki and Rashica combine as they approach the Burnley box. Rashica attempts to clip the ball back towards Norwich's top scorer as he darts into a more dangerous position. Between them Burnley's centre-backs are able to intercept it.

Norwich nearly make it 2-0! Pukki jinks into the right of the box and takes aim for the opposite corner. Pope gets across to save. The rebound initially looks kind for the hosts, but Burnley are able to recover to concede a corner. It's inconsequential. Normann fires over from distance shortly after.

More on Lees-Melou's lovely strike. That's the Frenchman's first Premier League goal. It's only the sixth time Norwich City have scored first in a Premier League game this season, and the first time they've done so since February against Liverpool.
