Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Aston Villa 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.

West Ham United vs Aston Villa
West Ham are going through a slight rough patch at the moment and will be hoping to get back to winning ways today. They've lost each of their last three outings in all competitions, including a 1-0 first-leg defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League on Thursday. Their home form is better though as they're unbeaten in their last three at the London Stadium (W2 D1). Villa come into this one in great form - they've won their last three games on the bounce, scoring nine goals and conceding none during that run.
