Follow live coverage as Fulham face Leeds United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:
Fulham vs Leeds United
It is the left side again that is proving effective for the Whites, as the ball drops to Stach just inside the area but is well blocked by a charging Fulham defender. Leeds will be the happier of the two sides thus far.
Aaronson dances around in Fulham’s penalty area but fails to create any real space. The ball is then lost on the edge of the box, much to Daniel Farke’s frustration.
Fulham’s first corner is a wasted opportunity, with the delivery failing to find a Fulham player. Leeds will be more than happy as the ball is back into safety at the halfway line.
The ball is launched high into the sky, and Muniz brings it down on his chest inside the Leeds box, but is intercepted at the decisive moment as the ball goes out for a corner.
The Leeds following are making the most noise in the stadium, trying to urge their team on to score the opener.
The left-hand side looks the likeliest route of goals for Leeds going forward, as Gudmundsson exploits the space but fails to find anyone in the box.
Wilson tries a one-two with King, but tumbles as he tries to stride into the area. Leeds are holding firm at the back while looking to take their chances on the counter.
Despite playing only 52 minutes of football this season before this game, striker Calvert-Lewin has registered more xG than any other Whites player. Keep feeding him the chances – he will eventually take them.
CHANCE FOR LEEDS! The resulting corner is initially dealt with by Leno, but Aaronson lobs the ball back in from just outside the box. Calvert-Lewin, making his Leeds Premier League debut, heads straight into Leno’s palms! A real let off for the Cottagers, as the englishman should be doing better…
Okafor shows plenty of pace down the left wing and is forced out by Andersen for a corner. The first of the game goes to the visitors.
