West Ham United vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Leeds United 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:
West Ham United vs Leeds United
Sam Allardyce is winless in his last eight Premier League games against former employers West Ham, having won five in a row before that. He's lost five straight against the Hammers with four different clubs, while also losing his last eight against West Ham manager David Moyes.

Rodrigo is released by Harrison and bears down on goal, but the offside flag is correctly raised as the striker's effort is parried by an onrushing Fabianski!

SAVED!!! The West Ham free-kick is headed away by McKennie, but drops for Fornals to tee up Paqueta on the edge of the area. The Brazilian hits it first-time from 25 yards, with his curling effort parried away from goal by Robles!

A high ball is brought down by Gnonto with Harrison racing into open space to his right, but the Italian is judged to have leant into Coufal as he jumped and concedes a free-kick.
West Ham United vs Leeds United
Leeds have now both scored and conceded in each of their last 12 league matches, the longest such run in their history. In Premier League history, only Everton (16 in January 2013), Aston Villa (15 in March 2008), and Liverpool (13 in August 1997) have ever had longer spells than the Whites' current one.

A slight knock for Zouma means he won't be back for the second half, and Thilo Kehrer is on to slot into central defence for West Ham.
