Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Arsenal 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 Arsenal

Saved by a late brace from unlikely match-winner Merino, Arsenal beat lowly Leicester City 2-0 to move within four points of the Premier League leaders. A display as dismal as the murky weather was lit up by the Spanish substitute's sparkling cameo, with his first goal being set up by rising star Nwaneri. The latter shone brightest throughout a scrappy match, which saw the Gunners produce an xG of 1.49 to the Foxes' 0.22. Nwaneri also clipped the crossbar, but Arteta's men were far from their best; yet, they still consigned their hosts to a fifth straight home defeat without scoring. Leicester remain stuck inside the bottom three and will stay there at least until meeting Brentford next Friday, while Arsenal face London rivals West Ham one day later. That's all from our live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
