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
The players are back on the pitch at London Stadium, and can the hosts turn this game around?
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Rice has been everywhere so far for West Ham, and almost scored a wonder strike with a first-time volley from the edge of the box! He's had more touches and passes in both halves than any other Hammers player, as well as winning possession seven times, and all of his duels.
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
An entertaining first half comes to an end, with Kehrer's unfortunate own goal providing Spurs with a slender lead. The hosts have arguably had the better share of chances, testing Lloris frequently and striking the woodwork through Antonio. Spurs have been dangerous on the counter though, with one such break resulting in the opening goal. West Ham can definitely get back into this though, so we're set for a cracker of a second half!
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Hojbjerg is still down following that challenge, of which every replay is looking worse and worse. Rice will be lucky to a void a card here.
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
BLOCKED!! Spurs fly forward on the break through Hojbjerg, until he's crunched in a tackle by Rice. Kulusevski continues the attack, and cuts inside to shoot, but his shot from 15 yards is blocked by Cresswell!
