West Ham United vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Chelsea 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:

Chelsea miss the chance to move up the table and stay in ninth place. They're now unbeaten in four as they turn their attention to a trip to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. West Ham move up two places to 15th, also extending their unbeaten run to four. They travel to Tottenham next weekend.

The points are shared after a 1-1 draw between West Ham and Chelsea. Joao Felix gave the visitors the lead, volleying past Fabianski from close range, but Chelsea had a goal chalked off on either side of it. The Portuguese forward hit the post and followed in, but set off too early, and Havertz coolly slotted into an empty net, but his was ruled out for a tight call. Emerson then scored his first Premier League goal to equalise from a tight angle. Soucek thought he'd won it late on after turning in Rice's saved shot, but it was disallowed as the Hammers captain was offside.

Ings goes for the big switch out to Bowen on the right, and he's up against Chilwell again. The left-back goes down under little contact, but the referee pulls it back, and the West Ham fans and players are making their frustration clear.

14:27 , admin

West Ham win a corner right on the byline down the right after Bowen was bundled over by Chilwell. Emerson curls it in, but it's cleared on the line by Silva, though Chelsea can't break on the counter.

Chilwell blocks Bowen's cross to give away a corner, and the winger loops a deep cross in. Soucek peels away to the far post, but he can't get away from Silva to make contact.

Chelsea are seeing a lot of the ball at the moment, but they can't pick out a pass into the box. Chilwell's pullback is just behind Havertz, but he reaches it and squares it to Gallagher, whose deflected shot is held by Fabianski, amid shouts for a handball.

14:21 , admin

Ziyech checks inside from the right and his cross is flicked on by Joao Felix and Mount in the middle. It's on its way through to Havertz at the far post, but Ogbonna cuts it out.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

14:19 , admin

NO GOAL! Chelsea held their line well, and Rice went too early on the free-kick. He's standing in an offside position and the goal won't count. Still 1-1!

SOUCEK SCORES! West Ham win a free-kick on the left and Emerson swings a great cross into the middle. Rice gets there first and flicks a header on goal which Kepa pushes away, but Soucek is alert and pokes the rebound past the keeper. VAR is having a look at this though...

Aguerd stayed down inside his box and required treatment for what looks like a muscle problem. He goes straight down the tunnel with the medical team and Johnson comes on for him.

Again, Chelsea work it down their right, with James sliding it into the box for Mount. He gets in front of Aguerd to square it across the box, and Fabianski gets a boot to it just before Havertz slides in.

West Ham have alternated between winning (four) and not winning (D1 L2) in their last seven Premier League home games against Chelsea, winning this exact fixture 3-2 last season.

14:10 , admin

CHANCE! Chilwell finds himself in space down the left again and whips a good cross into the near post. Havertz gets there ahead of Ogbonna, but can't direct his header on target as he thumps it wide.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

14:07 , admin

There are shouts for a penalty from the home side after Bowen crashes down in the box. He's holding his face after a collision with James, but there isn't anything in it.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

14:07 , admin

Aguerd takes the free-kick he won on the left and switches it out to Coufal. He plays a one-two with Soucek to open up space, but instead of hitting a shot himself, he squares it to Ings, and Badiashile cuts it out.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

14:05 , admin

Chilwell is straight into the action as he darts down the left, carrying it into the box. It gets caught under his feet when he gets his head up, which allows Rice to help it out for a corner, which again comes to nothing.

Fernandez goes for another long ball over the top, and there are shouts for handball as James chests it down. Play carries on, with Joao Felix crossing it in, but Fabianski plucks it out of the air.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:56 , admin

West Ham just can't get out of their own half at the moment, and fail to properly clear their lines from James' cross. The visitors win another corner, but Joao Felix can't pick out a team-mate again.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:53 , admin

Cucurella drills a low cross in from the left, and Havertz's flick is straight against Aguerd's shins. It bounces to Mudryk, who tries to scoop it over Fabianski, but he sends it well wide of the near post.

James steps up to take the free-kick on the right and curls a good cross into the crowd in the six-yard box. Antonio gets a touch on it at the near post to help it on, and it bounces just wide of the far post. Chelsea make nothing of the resulting corner.

WIDE! West Ham are looking to keep the pressure on Chelsea here after a quick counter broke down. Benrahma pulls it back to Rice, and he tries his luck from range but fizzes his low shot wide of the near post.

13:47 , admin

James finds himself in space down the right again, and he curls an early cross into the six-yard box. Ogbonna slides in to block it, and it loops kindly into Fabianski's gloves.

Havertz tracks back all the way with Kehrer, but then quickly loses out after breaking on the counter. Rice looks to slide it through for Bowen, but he can't get past Badiashile, who is sticking tight to him.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:43 , admin

Chelsea are back to keeping West Ham penned back in their own half as they keep possession well. Fernandez goes for the big switch out to the right, but Emerson cuts it out.

Potter will be particularly pleased with how his side started the game, but they let West Ham get back into it. He'll be looking for them to start the second half with the same intensity. The Hammers responded well to going behind and created some big chances, but Moyes will still be looking for improvement after the break.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:26 , admin

It's all square at the break, with West Ham and Chelsea drawing 1-1. The visitors made the brighter start, with Joao Felix having an early goal ruled out for offside after his chipped shot hit the post and he turned in the rebound. He broke the deadlock not long after though, volleying past Fabianski. Havertz thought he'd doubled the lead when he slotted into an empty net, but his was also chalked off for a tight call. Emerson then equalised from a tight angle with his first Premier League goal.

Chelsea pass it through the tightly-packed crowd in midfield, with Mudryk trying to tee up Joao Felix with his throughball. Ogbonna cuts it out but needs Aguerd's help to fully clear the danger.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:19 , admin

Into the first of four added minutes here, and West Ham are on the attack again. Benrahma and Emerson link up well down the left, but Antonio then scuffs a cross into the middle, which Loftus-Cheek cuts out.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:17 , admin

West Ham are just slowing the pace of the game down as they try to draw Chelsea out of their shape. It doesn't work though, and eventually, Fabianski cheaply puts it out of play.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:14 , admin

Joao Felix is the 12th different player to score for Chelsea in the Premier League this season - no side has had more (excluding own goals).

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:13 , admin

SAVE! Joao Felix is bundled over by Soucek just outside the box, and he's standing over the free-kick. He curls it around the outside of the wall towards the far post, and Fabianski dives to push it wide.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:10 , admin

James makes another good run down the right and he touches it into Joao Felix, who weaves past three defenders before taking aim. Ogbonna throws himself in front of it to block it, just before the flag goes up.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:08 , admin

Bowen misjudges the bounce from a clearance, not realising that Mudryk is behind him. The Ukrainian latches onto the loose ball and bursts forward down the left before picking out Fernandez, but his cross into Havertz is blocked.

GOOD SAVE! It's well worked by Chelsea again, and James squares it to Madueke, who nearly rounds Aguerd. He whips a curling shot towards the far post, and Fabianski stretches to push it away.

After another good spell of possession from Chelsea, West Ham look to break on the counter. Bowen looks for Antonio with a long clearance, but there's too much on it and Kepa collects.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

13:03 , admin

West Ham reacted well to going behind, but that equaliser has given their confidence a real boost. The corner is taken short this time, with Rice lifting it into the box, but Soucek can't make contact with it.

EMERSON EQUALISES! The move comes down West Ham's right again, with Coufal curling a wonderful cross in. It's flicked on by Bowen and none of the Chelsea defenders spot Emerson's late run to the far post where he fires his low shot past Kepa from a tight angle into the far bottom corner. 1-1!

12:58 , admin

SAVE! Coufal plays it down the line for Bowen, and he pulls it back to Antonio at the near post from the byline. He holds off Badiashile as he hits the shot first time and Kepa smothers it before the forward fires his second attempt just wide.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:57 , admin

This time, it's Cucurella that goes long over the top for Havertz, but he just can't get the ball under control. It bobbles around his feet before he scuffs at a shot, but the flag is up against him again.

OFFSIDE! For the second time, Chelsea have a goal ruled out! Mudryk rounds Coufal as he cuts inside from the left before sliding it through for Havertz. He coolly takes it around Fabianski before slotting it into the empty net, but the flag denies him!

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:53 , admin

Fernandez is dispossessed in his own half, and West Ham are on the attack again. Coufal puts a long throw-in into the box and Antonio brings it down while holding off Silva. He pulls it back to Rice, but he can't get a shot away.

West Ham are looking to make a quick response to going behind as Bowen drives forward down the right. He cuts into the box, but Badiashile slides in with a well-timed tackle to take it off him.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:50 , admin

JOAO FELIX SCORES! Mudryk slid in to take it off Bowen, leaving West Ham temporarily down to 10 as Chelsea pushed forward. Fernandez played a one-two with Cucurella, and this time, Joao Felix times his run to latch onto the curling cross and he volleys it past Fabianski first time. 1-0 Chelsea!

Cucurella's cross is cut out by Rice, but Paqueta is quickly dispossessed by Fernandez. He drags it into space before curling a long-range shot towards goal, but it flies just wide.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:44 , admin

Chelsea are looking to play out from the back, but they're struggling to pass their way through a compact West Ham shape. They're looking to the wide players, but there's no space for James down the right.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:44 , admin

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:42 , admin

OFFSIDE! James gets his head up and threads it forward for Joao Felix, who is in behind West Ham. He chips a wonderful shot over Fabianski, who rushed off his line, and it hits the post before he turns in the rebound, but he set off too early, so it won't count!

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:41 , admin

Moyes had substitutes warming up in case they were needed, but Paqueta is now back on his feet and will be able to carry on after treatment on his shoulder.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:38 , admin

Paqueta does well to wriggle out of a challenge on the edge of his own box before breaking forward. He's then pushed over by Madueke and lands heavily on his shoulder, needing treatment.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:37 , admin

It's a lovely throughball from Joao Felix to pick out Loftus-Cheek's run between the defenders, and he draws Fabianski out to him. The option is there to square it into Havertz for a tap-in, but the midfielder holds it for too long before hitting it straight at the keeper.

West Ham United vs Chelsea

12:34 , admin

Chelsea have started on the front foot and win a free-kick through the middle when Mudryk's driving run is cut out by Kehrer. James steps up, but curls his shot straight into Fabianski's gloves.
