West Ham United vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Leicester City 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 Leicester City
Leicester make it four wins out of five in the Premier League courtesy of a 2-0 victory over West Ham United at London Stadium. James Maddison opened the scoring with a sweetly-struck left-footed effort before he was forced to leave the field and raise concerns about his availability for the World Cup. Leicester spurned the chance to double their lead before the break as Youri Tielemans was denied from the penalty spot. However, the Hammers were toothless in front of goal and were duly punished on the break as Harvey Barnes converted with a neat finish to heap the pressure on David Moyes.
