LIVE UPDATES: English Premier League (Week 12)

Man City hope to stay top of the league table as they travel to Leicester Man City hope to stay top of the league table as they travel to Leicester

The international break is over and the Premier League has surged back into life, with current league leaders Manchester City getting back into action with a trip to Leicester.

It will be a third game in charge of the Foxes for Claude Puel, who has won one and drawn one his opening two matches, while Pep Guardiola will be aiming to continue Man City's winning league form.

It's set to be an intriguing clash at the King Power Stadium.

Elsewhere, Chelsea return to the Hawthorns for the first time since their Premier League title-clinching victory of last season when they face West Brom.

Michy Batshuayi's sole goal secured the Blues' 28th league win of the campaign in May on the way to a record-breaking season, but their title defence this term has been underwhelming at times.

A win over Manchester United last time out was a much-needed positive note after a string of unimpressive performances both home and in European competition in the weeks preceding.

West Brom, meanwhile, have not won since August and serious questions are being asked of Tony Pulis's job security midway through a campaign for the first time in his managerial career.

Here are some of the other games this afternoon.



West Brom v Chelsea (15:00 GMT)

Liverpool v Southampton (15:00 GMT)

Leicester v Man City (15:00 GMT)

Crystal Palace v Everton (15:00 GMT)

Burnley v Swansea (15:00 GMT)

Bournemouth v Huddersfield (15:00 GMT)
