West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
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:

It's been massively even in this half as the game rumbles on, with both sides having four shots on target from 12 attempts. Spurs have still had the lion's share of the ball, but West Ham have put in 16 crosses to their 14, and are only one behind in terms of corners taken (three to Spurs' four).

BLOCKED!!! Richarlison sprints down the right before putting Kane beyond Ogbonna and through. He shoots from a tight angle, but Kehrer is across to block it behind for a corner!

OVER!!! A superb move from West Ham sees Rice switch the ball wide to Coufal. He takes on Perisic before crossing, and Bowen's flick gives Fornals space to shoot, but he blasts a half-volley over the bar!
