Follow live coverage as Chelsea face West Ham United in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

Chelsea leave it late to beat West Ham, with Pulisic popping up in the 90th minute to score the winning goal to clinch a 1-0 victory. It looked like it would end goalless, after Jorginho saw his poor penalty saved by Fabianski just a couple of minutes earlier, which also resulted in a straight red card for Dawson for denying Lukaku a goalscoring opportunity. West Ham had defended well throughout and there wsn't enough time left on the clock for them to get an equaliser.

Decent chance! Mount fires a looping effort towards the top left corner of the net, but it flies inches over the crossbar, with Fabianski scrambling across.

PENALTY MISSED! Jorginho steps up to take the Chelsea penalty, but it's an awful effort! The midfielder tries to send Fabianski the wrong way, but the keeper guesses correctly and it's almost like a pass into his path. Fabianski makes a comfortable save and it remains goalless.
