Fulham vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face West Ham United 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 West Ham United
Although West Ham are not playing well, the main objective for Moyes is to get all three points. They will drop deeper as the half goes on to try and secure all three points. Fulham are lacking any motivation at the moment, and their attacking play is showing it.
Fulham vs West Ham United
The football produced by both sides in the first half was poor, to say the least. Neither side showed any consistency when going forward or any enthusiasm. Fulham put in cross after cross despite not having much success from any of them while West Ham's counter-attacking style is being defended with ease by the hosts. The visitors did score thanks to an own goal from Reed. Bowen dribbled past Ream and fired the ball into the midfielder, who turned it past Leno as West Ham entered the break 1-0 up.

The quality of football being played by West Ham is not great, but they are doing well now to at least get the ball up the pitch before losing it.

The absence of Mitrovic is very clear to see in this Fulham side. You can sense the frustration amongst the fans every time a cross from Willian or Cedric is cleared away.
