West Ham face Crystal Palace in another Premier League London derby this afternoon.
Graham Potter won his first home game in charge of the Hammers on Tuesday night, with his side beating capital counterparts Fulham 3-2.
While they perhaps did not fully convince earlier this week, there is a sense of a feel-good factor emerging under the former Chelsea boss.
Another home game offers the chance to build on that, albeit they are playing an improving Palace side. Oliver Glasner’s men beat Leicester 2-0 on Wednesday night to extend their unbeaten run to four games. Here’s everything you need to know about the match today.
