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
McKennie's run through the middle gives Leeds space to attack, and Rodrigo crosses from the right. His ball to Gnonto is headed clear by Zouma, but Struijk returns serve into the box and Koch glances an effort wide.

Ayling fires a cross towards Gnonto at the far post, but Coufal makes first contact and sends a header back into the gloves of Fabianski, who has to dive to keep the ball in play and prevent conceding a corner!
West Ham United vs Leeds United
Leeds have conceded 150 league goals since the start of last season (79 in 2021-22, 71 this season), more than any other side in the Europe's top five leagues. It's the most league goals they've shipped across two consecutive top-flight seasons since the 166 between 1958-59 (74) and 1959-60 (92), being relegated from the top-flight in the latter.

SAVED!! The Hammers pile forward in numbers on the counter as Fornals darts down the left side. His reverse pass to Paqueta in the box sees the midfielder shoot from a tight angle, but Robles parries well to put the ball behind for another West Ham corner!
West Ham United vs Leeds United
Leeds have lost all six of their Premier League games in London this season. Defeat here would see 2022-23 be the ninth consecutive campaign in which at least one club has failed to pick up a single Premier League point in London, and the Whites will be hoping they can be the side to break that unwanted record.

Gnonto has started as Leeds' right winger, but can't get close to Rice as the Hammers captain makes his way forward with a fantastic turn and run in his own half.
