Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Leicester City 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:

A Bournemouth free-kick comes out to Adams on the edge of the penalty area, but it is a big block by Skipp to ensure the effort doesn't test the goalkeeper.

Bournemouth turning the screw now and Brooks is denied from close-range by a smart save from Stolarczyk. It was a wicked ball into the penalty area by Tavernier and Brooks looked certain to score, but the goalkeeper pulled off a fine stop.

Bournemouth play a short corner-kick and work the ball across to Kluivert on the edge of the penalty area. The forward tries his luck from around 20 yards out, but his low effort can't find the target.

Big chance for Bournemouth! Evanilson runs onto a pass in-behind and drives into the penalty area. He shifts the ball onto his left foot about eight yards out from goal, but drags his effort wide of the post.

Faes' long pass finds Kristiansen down the left. He rolls the ball to Thomas whose cross is helped on by Ayew into the path of Skipp. The midfielder can't keep his effort down. A good chance for Leicester.

Leicester secured their first Premier League win of the season when these two sides met earlier in the campaign. Facundo Buonanotte, on the bench here, got the winner that day. The Foxes can do a first league double over Bournemouth since 2013/14 if they can claim all three points on the final day.

Bournemouth make three changes from the defeat at Manchester City last time out. One is enforced as Lewis Cook is suspended after being sent off against City. Dean Huijsen, who is leaving the club to join Real Madrid this summer, drops to the bench alongside Julian Araujo. Marcos Senesi, Adam Smith, and David Brooks start in their place.

Leicester City’s first campaign back in the Premier League has not gone as well as they had hoped, as the Foxes will be returning to the Championship next season. The arrival of Rudd van Nistelrooy as manager in November did little to change their fortunes at the bottom end of the table, and it remains to be seen whether this is his final game in charge of the club. Leicester are ending the season well though following home wins over Southampton and Ipswich, and a draw at rivals Nottingham Forest. Jamie Vardy enjoyed a fine farewell against Ipswich last time out when he scored his 200th goal for the club on his 500th appearance. Vardy won’t make an appearance here though, as the Foxes prepare for life without their star striker.

Bournemouth have enjoyed a brilliant second campaign under manager Andoni Iraola which has seen them secure their highest ever Premier League points tally. The Cherries though still have work to do on the final day if they want to secure their second ever top ten finish in Premier League history. The Cherries will need to beat Leicester here and hope either Manchester City or Wolves can do them a favour against either Fulham or Brentford. Hopes of a top eight finish and potential European football evaporated in mid-week when they were defeated 3-1 at Manchester City.
