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:

Hojbjerg goes down again, but blames his difficult on his boots, and quickly changes them on the sideline with play halted!

Kane has been involved in seven goals in his last six Premier League games against West Ham, scoring four and assisting three. Overall, he’s netted 11 goals against them in the competition, with only Wayne Rooney (14) and Michael Owen (13) scoring more against the Hammers.

Kane does well to get beyond Zouma as the two contest Sanchez's long ball forward, but his cut-back to Kulusevski is cut out and cleared by Kehrer.

WIDE!!! Kulusevski deflects a pass back to Cresswell and races beyond the left-back with the ball. He crosses for Son, who arrives left and strokes the ball to the wrong side of Fabianski's left post!

Bissouma contests a bouncing ball with Soucek and wins it, but catches the Czech in the process and is penalised.

Hojbjerg pulls up, clearly having not shaken off that injury picked up late in the first half, and there's every suggestion the Dane will be coming off presently.
