Chelsea vs Crystal Palace LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction today

3 mins: Burnley have controlled the ball in the opening stages here as they look to make a positive start to life without Sean Dyche.

West Ham earn themselves a free-kick though as Jarrod Bowen hits the deck.

1 min: Here we go then! We are underway at the London Stadium in this game between European chasing West Ham and relegation threatened Burnley.

The London Stadium has filled up and we are nearly ready to go in this Premier League clash between West Ham and Burnley.

Kick-off coming up very shortly!

The West Ham players look very relaxed and in good spirits ahead of this one. And why wouldn’t they be? It’s been a hell of a few days for the Europa League semi-finalists.

Mark Noble also looks like he has recovered from cleaning the away dressing room post-match.

What are your predictions for this afternoon then?

West Ham will be tired after playing an emotionally draining Europa League quarter-final just 72 hours ago.

But the Burnley players will also have been thrown into a mental struggle on Friday when Sean Dyche was shockingly sacked.

There are many factors to consider heading into this one.

Michael Jackson was just asked whether he knows how long he will be in caretaker charge for at Turf Moor.

To which he rather bluntly replied; “I have been asked to take charge of this game. I’m not being disrespectful, I couldn’t care less about the rest.”

Caretaker boss Michael Jackson will be taking charge of the Burnley team for today’s game following the sacking of Sean Dyche.

Big career change for the former popstar.

Had to say it.

Here was Brentford boss Thomas Frank’s reaction to Burnley sacking Sean Dyche just 48 hours ago. Hint: he was stunned.

The Brentford manager said: “I’m massively surprised. As Brentford’s head coach, there are a lot of things we can learn about Burnley. It’s remarkable what they have done.

“Sean Dyche and his coaching staff and everyone involved in the club have done an unbelievable top job. Sean Dyche deserves a lot of credit, almost they should build a statue of him outside Turf Moor.”

A reminder that this could turn out to be a really perfect week for West Ham in both the Europa League and Premier League.

Tottenham and Arsenal both suffered defeats in a major blow to their Champions League hopes. Manchester United edged past Norwich, but West Ham can leapfrog them again with a win here today.

They are already in the Europa League semi-finals, but now they could suddenly be right back in the hunt for a top four place as well.

We are just over 30 minutes away from kick-off at the London Stadium as West Ham prepare to take on Burnley.

It is a huge game for Burnley as they look to avoid relegation back down to the Championship.

But it could also propel West Ham back into the top four race. A win would take David Moyes’ side up to fifth, just three points off Tottenham.
