Follow all the action from London Stadium
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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
West Ham United vs Aston Villa
Yarmolenko crashes into Buendia to stop him from bringing the ball down and then lands heavily on his back. Both players are able to carry on without needing treatment though.

Coutinho's throughball makes it through the crowd to Mings at the far post, and Fabianski rushes off his line to close him down. West Ham have crowded out their box, and the defender can't pick out a team-mate to take advantage of the empty net.

Into the second of six added minutes here, and Villa believe they can get something out of this game. Bailey clips in another cross from the right and it pinballs around the box before Dawson hooks it to safety.

GREAT SAVE! Bailey just checks back and lifts a lovely ball over the top to pick out Buendia's run in behind West Ham's defence. He takes the shot on the volley from a tight angle, but Fabianski gets a strong hand behind it.
