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:

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY! McAteer finds acres of space on the right flank before delivering a pass to the path of Thomas in the penalty area, however the defender sees his shot blocked by the Southampton defence! Leicester are knocking on the door for a second goal!

WHAT A CHANCE! The resulting corner is whipped in by Ayew from the right flank and is met by Ndidi but the Nigeria international is not able to trouble Ramsdale.

WHAT IS HE DOING?! Stephens is under no pressure and decides to play the ball back to Ramsdale, however the former Arsenal goalkeeper can't keep it in and the ball goes out for a Leicester corner kick. If that was on goal, it would have been an own-goal!
