Follow live coverage as Arsenal face West Ham United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Odegaard's attempt to continue doesn't last long, as a medic now runs on to assess him. Perhaps he's injured his knee. Near the touchline, Merino and Zubimendi both start warming up.

Already quiet, the Emirates almost falls silent as Odegaard drops down to the turf in some pain. Initially, it looks like he might have to come off, but after refusing medical treatment, he attempts to run it off.

Back in the West Ham XI today, Wan-Bissaka throws the ball in from the right touchline, finding Fullkrug. However, the German forward can only knock his return pass straight out of play.

West Ham are enjoying a rare spell on the ball, albeit without causing Arsenal any problems. So far, the Hammers' possession share stands at 36%, while they've only had four touches in their hosts' box.

MISS! Arsenal should score! Once Gyokeres can't bundle the ball home in a six-yard-box scramble, Areola only gets it a few feet away. Unmarked, Eze then shoves his close-range finish over the crossbar - what a chance spurned!

Play resumes with an Areola goal-kick, which gifts the ball straight back to Arsenal. The hosts have yet to build any momentum, having been faced by a defensive West Ham lineup.

The action is still paused in North London: Mavropanos caught Calafiori's head in an aerial challenge, so his left eyebrow seems to need some patching-up.

Rice takes the free-kick against his former club, but it comes to nothing. Play can't restart, though, as ex-Arsenal man Mavropanos has sustained a knock to the head and will need medical attention.

With a mistimed tackle, Magassa halts Calafiori's progress on the left flank, conceding a free-kick in dangerous territory - particularly given Arsenal's set-piece prowess.

Persistent play by Wan-Bissaka keeps Arsenal under pressure in their own defensive third, and the hosts have to concede a throw-in. From it, the ball ultimately falls for Paqueta, who then swipes an ambitious angled shot high over the crossbar.

SAVE! Areola makes a smart stop! Covering his near post, the goalkeeper repels a fierce low drive by Timber, who then scuffs a follow-up shot wide of the target. It was a chance out of nothing!

After surviving an early scare, Arsenal have taken control of proceedings. Following a period of possession, Eze and Gyokeres link up on the left, before the latter's wayward pass misses Trossard and rolls straight out of play.

Aided by the wind, Paqueta whips in a dangerous corner-kick from the right, which picks out Fullkrug at the back post. Under pressure, though, the West Ham striker heads high over the crossbar - it was at least a half-chance.

Meanwhile, Monday’s 1-1 draw at Everton, in their first game under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo, wasn’t quite enough to take West Ham out of the Premier League’s relegation zone. The former Tottenham boss faces a fight to turn the Hammers around, as they now have a record of one win from seven this season - including an EFL Cup exit to rock-bottom Wolves. Still, all of their last 10 points have come away from a difficult atmosphere at home - and they've won on their last two visits to the Emirates.

Aiming to seize first place before Liverpool visit Chelsea later, Arsenal moved to within two points of the reigning Premier League champions with last week's dramatic late win at Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta’s men then kept the momentum going in midweek, beating bogey team Olympiacos 2-0 in the Champions League. Following a run of five wins and one draw from six matches, the Gunners now aim to stop their run of home defeats to West Ham.
