Crystal Palace vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face West Ham United 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:
Crystal Palace vs West Ham United
Eze wins the ball back in midfield, and passes between himself, Mateta and Edouard but the latter's shot from range is weak and doesn't trouble Areola in the Hammers goal.

Fullkrug looks to be going through a rigorous warm-up early on in the second-half. It won't be long before we see the German come on for the Hammers.

How does the Opta predictor look heading into the second-half at Selhurst Park? Well, Crystal Palace are overwhelming favourites, with a 41 per cent chance of claiming three points from here. West Ham, on the other hand, have a 24 per cent chance of winning this game and stunning Oliver Glasner's home side. The teams are about to come back out.

It's half-time at Selhurst Park after a breathtaking opening 45 minutes of football. West Ham had a few bright early moments, but Crystal Palace have largely dominated proceedings since and should be 1-0 up. Eberechi Eze, who has been the Eagles most promising attacking threat came close to giving his side the lead just before the break but his curling effort cracked the Hammers crossbar with Alphonse Areola well beaten. Oliver Glasner will be wondering how his side are not leading at the break, while Julen Lopetegui will be hoping for much better from the visitors.

OFF THE CROSSBAR! Eze is inches away from a magnificent goal. The short corner from Wharton picks out the England international but his thunderous drive from 20 yards smacks the top of the bar. Very, very unlucky!

OVER! Paqueta picks up the ball in midfield, lifts it over the onrushing defender with a delicate touch and sets himself up for the shot but his effort flies wide of the goal.
