Follow live coverage as Norwich City face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:

Norwich City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Kane slips Son into the left of the box, and the South Korean lets rip at goal. Krul gets down low to deny the Golden Boot-chasing forward. Up the other end, Rashica crosses from the right of the box and Pukki nods well wide.

Norwich are starting to cause Tottenham more problems. Lees-Melou plays a one-two with Pukki to burst into the penalty area. The Frenchman can't test Lloris though, and Spurs clear.

Aarons uses his pace to get past his man, allowing Norwich to circulate the ball further. Dowell tries to reach Aarons' ball down the line but can't prevent Spurs from shepherding it out of play.

Norwich start the half brightly as Pukki races in behind. Dier does well to stop the Finn from getting into a more central position, so Pukki cannons the ball against a defender to win a corner instead.

There's no way even Spurs can mess things up from here. The Londoners know how to hold onto a lead, having won all 15 games they've led at half-time in the Premier League this season. Norwich might pull a goal back in the second half if they're lucky, but you wouldn't bet against Spurs putting the game to bed first.

That was a very comfortable first half for Tottenham. Conte's men are showing no signs of throwing away the opportunity they've been given. Spurs have looked threatening throughout and deservedly took the lead through Kulusevski before Krul's error handed Kane a simple second. Norwich have threatened intermittently, but not enough to trouble their visitors.
