Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Liverpool today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town 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:

SAVED!!! What a stop from Areola!! Gakpo cuts inside off the left before threading a glorious pass right through the heart of West Ham. Salah is straight onto it and shoots first-time, but Areola races across to parry his effort behind!

WIDE!!! West Ham spring a trap on Liverpool as Kudus pinches the ball from Robertson. Bowen darts down the left and plays a ball across for the arriving Paqueta, but the Brazilian slips as he arrives onto it and can only skew wide!

Currently sat six points clear at the summit, Liverpool have lost just once all season and are unbeaten in their last 13, dropping points in just three of those matches. The Reds beat Spurs 6-3 in their most recent away game before dispatching Leicester 3-1 last time out, and will be heavy favourites to make it three wins in a row here.

The 13th placed Hammers are on a four-game unbeaten streak, in the best vein of form they’ve had since Julen Lopetegui took charge. Victories over lowly Southampton and Wolves in their last match came either side of draws with Bournemouth and Brighton, but they face an entirely different task this time around.
