Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Southampton 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:

OFFSIDE! Southampton finally show some urgency! The ball is whipped on the left flank from Sulemana, which is met by the head of Onuachu. Stolarczyk makes a great save but the ball falls to Fernandes who puts away the rebound. However, the flag goes up for offside!

SO CLOSE! El Khannouss has another chance to score! The Morocco international shows some trickery in the penalty area, putting the ball through the legs of Harwood-Bellis, before curling a right-foot effort which flies just over the crossbar of Ramsdale!

Southampton are really struggling to hold possession of the ball in the second half. As it stands, defeat for the Saints will confirm them finishing bottom of the Premier League this season.
