Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Newcastle 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.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

Summing up much of a sub-par season, Chelsea could not find the finishing touch to complete their build-up work today, and they must settle for a final-day draw against a Newcastle side that had to hold firm for their point. Following a fast start, the Magpies were unable to maintain their early momentum, as the hosts had most of the ball and fired in 22 shots at goal. Both teams had chances to win it, but the 2022-23 campaign ends with a share of the spoils at Stamford Bridge.

MISS! Another great chance to take three points is spurned by the hosts! Hall's brilliant cross from the left picks out Joao Felix near the penalty spot, but the Atletico Madrid loanee steers his header over the bar with the goal at his mercy!

Never truly threatening Dubravka's goal, Joao Felix sends a 20-yard free-kick over the crossbar.

SAVE! Somehow, Chelsea fail to win it! Sterling takes the bull by the horns and runs straight at a back-tracking Newcastle defence through the centre. He then lays the ball perfectly into the path of Pulisic on the left side of the box, but with time to pick his spot the latter only fires straight at Dubravka from close range!

Yet another foray into the box by Madueke sees two Newcastle defenders left with their heads spinning, before his driven cross is cut out by Dubravka at the near post.

Following a Madueke throughball, Chukwuemeka's cutback from the right byline finds Joao Felix arriving into the box at pace, but under pressure, the Chelsea striker can only find the side-netting.
