Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur 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:

In the first minute of four indicated for stoppages, the home side are probing patiently inside the Tottenham half. There's no way through, though.

Casemiro attempts to set another counter-attack in motion, but as he strides through the centre of the pitch is felled. That cues more substitutions.

Though Tottenham are theoretically still in contention for a point, the tempo has dropped at Old Trafford and there appears to be no real belief that they can even create a consolation.
