West Ham United vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Crystal Palace 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.

West Ham United vs Crystal Palace
Olise scored a 94th-minute winner to complete Palace’s comeback over West Ham and secure their first away victory of the season. Starting brightly, the away side found themselves behind after a wicked effort from Benrahma beat Guaita. Receiving the ball from Paqueta, the Algerian pushed Ayew away before crashing his strike past the goalkeeper from outside the box. Still, Viera’s team pushed for an equaliser and got it through their star man. Winning the ball off Kehrer, the energetic Eze laid a pass into the feet of Zaha who shrugged off Dawson, lashing his effort into the bottom corner from inside the area. Eze then missed the target in the second half before West Ham thought they had a penalty. Referee Tierney pointed to the spot after substitute Antonio was brought down by Guehi, but reversed his decision after checking the monitor. Instead, it was Palace who found the winner. Breaking on the counter after Antonio wasted an opportunity up the other end, Zaha found Olise, who cut in from the right before his deflected effort looped over Fabianski and into the top corner.
