Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Leicester City 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.

United miss the chance to leapfrog Tottenham into fifth, though they are now level on points with them. They travel to Everton for their next game. That point moves Leicester up to ninth, but their attention now turns to their Europa Conference League quarter-final against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday.

Manchester United vs Leicester City

The points are shared after a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Leicester City. Iheanacho scored the opening goal with a stooping header which De Gea couldn't keep out, but Fred equalised for the hosts just three minutes later when he fired in the rebound of Fernandes' saved effort. Maddison thought he'd won the game for Leicester late on when he fired in at the near post, but it was ruled out for a foul by Iheanacho on Varane in the build-up. United pushed late on, but couldn't come up with a winner.
