Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Manchester City 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:

Chelsea have still to trouble Ederson enough in the second half, and Hall's latest strike sums up their night. The left-back got himself into a good position on the edge of the box, but his left-footed shot sailed over the crossbar. He had the chance to cross to several team-mates but failed to capitalise on the opportunity.

There is still time left but Chelsea may be one of very few teams who can brag that they have stopped Haaland from scoring against them in the Premier League. Let's see if he can change that in the next seven or eight minutes.

City's lead is still intact, and unless Chelsea improve their play in the final third, it will stay that way.
