Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Liverpool 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. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
West Ham United vs Liverpool
OFF THE POST!!! West Ham go within milimetres of an equaliser!!! Kudus drifts inside off his wing and plays a one-two with Paqueta before letting fly from 25 yards. His low shot beats Alisson's dive but cannons back off the base of the right-hand post, before rolling back across the face of goal and being put behind!

SAVED!!! A sensational touch from Kudus frees up crossing space on the right flank, and his ball into the middle is met by a glancing Paqueta header which Alisson does well to keep hold of!

West Ham look to hit back straight away as Bowen is found in the box by a speculative ball from Paqueta. He winds up to shoot, but clashes boots with Van Dijk and the free-kick goes Liverpool's way.
