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

A good ball forward from Hojbjerg picks out Kane. He waits for support to arrive, before looking to find Hojbjerg with a return pass into the box, but the ball ends up rolling into the hands of Fabianski.

A good throughball from Kane frees up Kulusevski in the box, but his cut-back to Son is a poor one and West Ham re-gain possession.

West Ham have lost just one of their last seven Premier League matches played on a Wednesday, going down 2-0 at Arsenal last December. They had lost six of their previous eight such Wednesday matches before this.

SAVED!!! A long-range cross-field pass releases Kulusevski down the right, and he links up with Hojbjerg. The Dane shoots first-time from 25 yards, side-footing a low effort straight into Fabianski's gloves!
