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:

With that fracas sorted out, the fourth official holds up his board, showing four minutes of added time for either side to find a winner with.

A fracas erupts on halfway after Paqueta leaves one on Emerson, and then Richarlison is subsequently fouled as the melee begins!

CHANCE!! Coufal and Bowen race down the right and link up, with the latter crossing low into the box. Emerson and Paqueta can both get to it, but a mix-up sees them both dummy to the other and the chance goes begging!

Coufal's corner finds the head of Zouma, but there's not enough power or direction on the effort and Lloris is able to gather the ball eventually.
