Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

OFF THE POST!!! Forward come West Ham again as Antonio takes on Dier. He curls a shot beyond Lloris, but the ball smashes off the post and goes behind! What an effort!

SAVED!!! After Tottenham can only half-clear a West Ham corner, Rice arrives at the edge of the box and unleashes a flying left-footed volley that Lloris has to react quickly to save! What a goal that would've been from the England midfielder!

NO PENALTY!!! The referee finally heads over to the VAR screen, and after being shown a couple of different angles, decides the ball hit Cresswell's head first and rules out the penalty!
