Hello and welcome to live coverage of West Ham v Manchester City, which is the first game of the new season if you were not paying attention last night.

Fabianksi hoofs it long, and Aaron Cresswell is wacked by accident by Walker's arm.

The match gets underway.

Five minutes to kick off.

And here's something on one of the best 'keepers in the world.

Here are the latest rumours.

City might already feel under pressure. Liverpool won 4-1 yesterday and look as threatening on the attack as ever. If it comes down to the wire again, they will need goals from the off.

Here's the City line-up. Rodri makes his first Premier League appearance for City, as the only new signing starting. Joao Cancelo is on the bench, and Claudio Bravo continues his return from injury.

Sebastien Haller starts for West Ham, their big new signing. Apart from that it is pretty much the same as last season for Manuel Pellegrini's team.

Here is the West Ham XI.
