Arsenal vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Follow live coverage as Arsenal face West Ham United 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.

Arsenal vs West Ham United
Arsenal put their title credentials on display, netting thrice in the second half to overcome a 1-0 deficit and take all three points against West Ham. Benrahma’s opener from the spot after 27 minutes stood as the only goal for another half-hour, when Odegaard and Saka combined to drag the Gunners back level. Martinelli would capitalise on the momentum and dispatch a near-post finish past Fabianski just five minutes later, to give Arteta’s side a first lead of the day. The defence would hold resolutely from there, preventing Antonio and Bowen from combining as effectively as they did in the first period to prevent Moyes from snatching his first ever win at Emirates Stadium. Nketiah would add the cherry on top with a lovely finish after rolling his defender to give Arsenal a well-deserved third goal that put the result beyond doubt. The three points put Arsenal seven clear of second-place Newcatle, while West Ham stay 16th.
