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
West Ham were one of only two sides to score in all 19 of their home games last season, along with Liverpool, but haven’t scored in their opening two home games this season. They have never failed to score in their opening three home league games in a season before, last failing in three consecutive home Premier League games in general in December 2008 at Upton Park.

OVER!!! Coufal whips in a wicked cross from the right, and Soucek arrives late to get his head to it, but the ball is always rising as he sends his effort over the bar!

A beautiful piece of control and awareness from Kane sees him knock a long clearance beyond the defence and into Son's path. Son heads it on with the aim of shooting, but Fabianski is out to gather the loose ball before he can do so.

Kehrer's debut at the London Stadium saw him concede a crucial penalty as Brighton beat the Hammers 2-0, and he's just scored an own goal to mark his second appearance here! Not the best start in front of the home faithful for the German international.

BLOCKED!!! Back come West Ham as Rice finds Benrahma on the left. He cuts inside and shoots, but a block off Dier takes the sting out of the shot and Lloris collects!
