West Ham United vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Manchester 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 Manchester City
City bounced back from the Community Shield loss to put their first points on the table. Next up for them is Bournemouth at home. Moyes will be hoping they can bounce back quickly as they travel to Nottingham Forest for their next game.
West Ham United vs Manchester City
City start their title defence with a 2-0 win over West Ham. Haaland scored both of the goals, one in either half to seal the points. The first came from the penalty spot, which he won when he was tripped by Areola, and he converted it confidently and the second finished off a lightning-quick counter as he coolly slotted it past the keeper. De Bruyne also had a goal disallowed in the first half as Gundogan was offside in the build-up.

BLOCK! City break quickly upfield, with Walker driving forward down the right. He lays it off to Alvarez on the edge of the box, who goes for power with his shot, but Zouma gets in the way of it.
