Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Old Trafford
Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

United kick off, and we are back under way in Manchester!
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham have lost just one of their last 16 Premier League games, but Manchester United have won each of these sides' top-flight encounters - their best run against Spurs for over a decade. Conte has also lost all three of his previous games at Old Trafford. It remains finely poised today, but who will prevail?
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Fought out at a furious pace, but lacking no little quality for it, the first half ends all-square at Old Trafford, but Manchester United should really be in front. Having clipped the post and seen Lloris pull off some smart saves, the hosts were totally dominant for a spell of around 20 minutes, which Spurs survived to go down the tunnel still on level terms. Though Conte may be concerned that his side have lived so dangerously, they remain a threat on the counter, and it only takes a few seconds for their clinical forwards to strike.
