Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face West Ham United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

The old saying goes: 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and that's exactly what Julen Lopetegui is going for with his West Ham lineup today. He's opted for no changes following the 4-1 thrashing of Ipswich before the international break. He'll be hoping that the front four players have the same effect as against the Tractor Boys, where they all chipped in with goals.
