Follow live coverage as Watford face Everton in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

The point for the Toffees means that they remain in 16th, though they extend the gap to the relegation zone to two points. They will host Brentford on Sunday as they look to further push themselves away from the drop. The Hornets meanwhile remain second bottom, but they do end a run of six straight defeats. Although they are already relegated, they will play Leicester City next as they try and finish with a flourish.

The final whistle blows, and the game finishes goalless. It was a quiet first-half, with neither side able to create a shot-on-target. The visitors started the second half the better, and could've gone in front on 53 minutes when Foster made an excellent save to tip a deflected Richarlison shot wide. Gray then should've put his side into the lead after 62 minutes, but he scuffed a shot wide of the left post after Iwobi had picked him out. Keane and Mykolenko also saw efforts saved by Foster, and the scoreline ends 0-0.
