The match is underway as Crystal Palace kick the game off.
Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of West Ham vs Crystal Palace from the Premier League.
Tonight's clash at the London Stadium sees 11th-placed West Ham take on 13th-placed Crystal Palace, with just one point separating the two teams. Hammers coach David Moyes will be demanding an immediate response after his side were beaten 2-0 by Wigan in the FA Cup last week.
Former England manager Roy Hodgson will also be hoping for a better performance after his side lost 4-1 in their last outing in the Premier League. Arsenal proved too strong for them on that occasion and Palace's players have had a mini break ahead of kick-off.
The pre-match stats heavily favour the home side, with West Ham unbeaten in their last five Premier League clashes with Palace. Tonight marks West Ham's 200th London Derby in the league and a win could push them into the top 10.
TEAM NEWS coming up...
Eagles midfielder Luka Milivojevic could make history tonight after scoring in the last three away league games. No Palace player has ever scored four in a row on the road in the Premier League so watch out for that one this evening!
West Ham Starting XI (5-4-1): Adrian, Zabaleta, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Byram, Noble, Kouyate, Mario, Hernandez.
West Ham SUBS: Cullen, Oxford, Martinez, Haksabanovic, Hart, Quina, Fonte.
Crystal Palace Starting XI (4-4-2): Hennessey, Fosu-Mensah, Kelly, Tomkins, Van Aanholt, Zaha, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend, Benteke, Sako.
Hammers boss Moyes make four changes from the last league outing against Bournemouth. Javier Hernandez, Joao Mario, Sam Byram and Declan Rice all come in for Marko Arnautovic, Arthur Masuaku, Manuel Lanzini and Pedro Obiang. Masuaku misses the next six matches due to suspension but Arnautovic, Lanzini and Obiang are all on the sidelines with injury.
Big night for Mario as he makes his full debut and first in the league after joining from Inter Milan on loan last week. Former Leeds United man Byram also gets a rare chance and he is expected to play on the right of midfield.
Palace boss Hodgson makes just one change to the team that lost to the Gunners, with Andros Townsend coming in for Yohan Cabaye.
HALF-TIME - West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace.
The referee blows for the end of the first half and it has been entertaining so far at the London Stadium. Benteke's header was cancelled out by Noble's penalty and we have a real game on our hands this evening. Palace have lost Sako to injury but both teams have given their all and neither side have sat back and tried to defend.
Mario has looked sharp on his debut and needs more service, while the same can be said of Townsend. There has been some great one-on-one battles and that is set to continue in the second 45 minutes. Stay with us!
FULL TIME - West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace.
The points are shared at the London Stadium and it comes as a surprise to only get two goals this evening. Hernandez was denied on several occasions by Hennessey, but Palace struggled the minute Sako went off. A point is a good result for both sides at this stage of the season but West Ham will feel that is a game they should have won.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
The Hammers have plenty of injuries at the moment so Moyes will move on quickly and both he and Hodgson will now turn their attention to the transfer market.
