Fulham vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham 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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Fulham vs West Ham United
This is a must-win game for David Moyes as a defeat could see West Ham drop into the relegation zone, which may cost the manager his job. The Hammers were thrashed 5-1 by Newcastle during the week as they made a lot of individual errors in defence. A win could be a huge boost for the team, potentially taking them up to 12th in the Premier League table.
Fulham vs West Ham United
Fulham are on a very poor run of form, losing their last four matches in all competitions. Despite being 1-0 up last weekend against Bournemouth, Marco Silva’s side lost 2-1 after a terrible second-half display. Things got worse for the club this week as Aleksandar Mitrovic’s suspension will last eight games following his incident in the FA Cup against Manchester United.
