Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Everton 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.

West Ham United vs Everton
Calvert Lewin plants a header from Young's cross which is easily gathered by Fabianski. The veteran fullback has been a decent attacking outlet down the right.
West Ham United vs Everton
It's been really flat so far, with not long to go until the end of the first half. The pressure will continue to be on Lopetegui with inspid first half performances such as these.
West Ham United vs Everton
Calvert-Lewin holds the ball up well before finding Lindstrom, the Dane surges close to the penalty area but his pass is wayward and the opportunity is squandered. The winger has looked bright at times but his final pass has been found wanting.
West Ham United vs Everton
Everton lost their first four Premier League games this season, conceding 13 goals in the process. However, they’ve lost just one of their subsequent six (W2 D3), with their four goals conceded the fewest of any side in that time. Their backline has improved as the season has gone on, and they've made a decent start here.
West Ham United vs Everton
Half-an-hour gone and West Ham have still not registered a shot. There's been some decent interplay on the edge of the area betweent the likes of Bowen and Paqueta but Everton have still barely been tested defensively.
West Ham United vs Everton
Todibo makes a well-timed clearance to keep out Mykolenko's cross down the left, though the Frenchman still concedes the corner. Lindstrom's delivery is a poor one once again, and West Ham can clear.
West Ham United vs Everton
Neither side have created a quality chance as of yet, with consistent turnovers meaning the game has lacked a real fluency in these opening 25 minutes or so. Everton perhaps shade proceedings but neither have threatened.
West Ham United vs Everton
Summerville fouls Young on the right. Everton are enjoying some sustained possession but struggling to create anything meaningful with it. It's a rather subdued atmosphere at the London Stadium with West Ham providing little for the home supporters to get behind right now.
West Ham United vs Everton
All three of Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s Premier League goals against West Ham have come at the London Stadium, with the last two coming in 1-0 wins for Everton. Only against Newcastle (five) has he scored more away goals in the competition than he has at West Ham. The striker would love a goal this afternoon.
