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:
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Kane looks to have forced a corner by outmuscling Kehrer, but it's too much for the referee, who blows for a free-kick against the Tottenham striker.

Spurs surge down the left as Davies beats Cresswell and cuts the ball back from the byline, but a hooked block from Zouma sees the ball go behind and land on top of the net!

It's been fairly even since the equaliser, with the midfield locked up in a battle to see who blinks first. Spurs have the majority of possession with 61.3 per cent, but West Ham's similar duel-winning rate of 63.3 per cent means neither side is really able to gain any impetus at the moment.

Only Carlton Cole (14) and Manuel Lanzini (13) have scored more Premier League goals for West Ham in Premier League London derbies than Antonio (12) – six against Tottenham, including netting once in each of his last three against them at the London Stadium. He turned provider for the equaliser, but in this sort of mood, could well add to his taly before the game is up!

BLOCKED!!! Bowen cuts in from the right and lays the ball off to Rice, whose curling first-time shot takes a huge deflection off Dier and goes behind!
