Follow live coverage as Fulham face Manchester City 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:

Fulham vs Manchester City

City's hosts here are Fulham who are still on track for a top-half finish. The Cottagers have suffered a dip in form lately, losing five of their last seven Premier League games, but they're still good enough to cause the defending champions problems. City still have to work for a third consecutive league title.

City's emphatic 4-1 victory over Arsenal midweek means a win here would take them to the top of the Premier League for the first time since February. Pep Guardiola's men have won their last seven league games in a row now. If they can get settled in top spot, it's hard to see them giving it up.
