Leicester City vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Brentford in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Leicester will be gutted that they didn't manage to hold on for the win and next up for them is a trip to Arsenal. Meanwhile Brentford will look to get their first win of the season when they face Manchester United.

Brentford come from 2-0 down to nick a point at the King Power, with a superb Dasilva strike late on making it 2-2. The hosts led 1-0 at the break through Castagne and Dewsbury-Hall doubled their lead just seconds after the restart with a terrific strike from distance. However, Brentford hit back and Toney pulled one back on 62 minutes and the striker should have scored another from close range not long after. However, Dasilva popped up in the 86th-minute with a fantastic curling strike to fire his side level and that’s how it finished.

Will Brenford get a better chance than the Toney one a couple of minutes ago? It was on a plate for the striker and he should have made it 2-2.

CHANCE! Toney with a superb opportunity to level the game! Leicester try to play out from the back, but lose possession in a dangerous position and Mbeumo whips an excellent cross into the penalty area, which Toney meets at the far post. However, he can’t get his header on target and it flies just wide of the post!
Leicester City vs Brentford
16:32 , admin
Brentford try to create something with a short corner, but the ball that comes into the box is poor and Leicester easily clear the danger.

Since pulling a goal back, Brentford haven't been able to test Ward in the Leicester goal. You'd probably say that another Leicester goal at this point would wrap up the win for the hosts.

OFF THE POST! So close to a third Leicester goal! Maddison whips a deep free-kick into the box and Fofana meets it and tries to place the ball into the far right corner of the net. However, it strikes the woodwork and then bounces away to safety!

You can really hear the away supporters getting behind their side and urging them forward in search of an equaliser. There is certainly plenty of time left on the clock.

It’s a completely different game now, with Brentford showing much more urgency to get forward and test the Leicester defence, who have shown that they can be beaten at the back.

Leicester remained unbeaten in their final four Premier League games of the 2021-22 season (W3 D1), with their 13 goals scored in this run as many as they’d netted in their previous 12 league games combined.

16:08 , admin
It’s the visitors turn to enjoy a bit of possession, but Leicester look very comfortable at the back and Ward is yet to be truly tested in the Foxes goal.

Decent effort! Tielemans fires a low strike towards goal from around 25 yards out, but it lacks power to beat Raya, who gets down quickly and makes a good stop.

Brentford may need to think about making a few changes in the second half in order to get back into this one, as Leicester ended the half on top and they could easily be further behind.

Leicester lead 1-0 at the break, thanks to an excellent header from Castagne on 33 minutes following a corner. The game took a while to get going, but both sides had opportunities earlier on to open the scoring, with Mbuemo forcing Ward into a good save, before Maddison and Tielemans went close for the hosts. However, as the match progressed Leicester began to dominate possession and got their goal through Castagne, before Tielemans almost made it 2-0 shortly before the break, but his strike from distance hit the post.

Leicester are on top now, with Brentford unable to string more than a couple of passes together when they do manage to win the ball back. However, they are defending well and not allowing Leicester much time or space in the final third.
