Follow live coverage as Fulham 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:

More on Haaland's goal. That was his 50th goal of the season overall, more than seven Premier League clubs have scored in all competitions this term. The man's scary.

City waste no time in looking for another goal. The visitors attack down their right. Fulham are able to clear this time, but this could be a long game for them.

Fulham vs Manchester City

That's Haaland's 34th Premier League goal of the season, equalling Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer's records set in 42-game campaigns. The 22-year-old is going to blow that record out of the water by the end of May.

PENALTY FOR CITY! The champions don't take long to settle into their rhythm, and Ream hauls down Alvarez in the penalty area. The referee Simon Hooper wastes no time in pointing to the spot!
