Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 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:

CHANCE! It's a great cross from Podence into the middle and Jimenez gets in front of the two defenders to try and guide his header into the near post. He gets his angles wrong though, and it bounces just wide.

In the middle of all of that, Smith was caught in the face and he's stayed down in need of treatment. He slowly gets back to his feet, and he'll be able to carry on.

GREAT CHANCE! It's a lightning-quick counter from Wolves as Lerma loses it in midfield, and Podence plays an early, low cross into the box. Jimenez takes the shot quickly as Neto rushes off his line, but he pokes it just wide of the far post.
