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
BRILLIANT FROM KUDUS! The West Ham star picks up the ball in his own half, spins past Wharton and Munoz brilliantly before the Colombian brings him down. That was some super attacking play from the Ghana international.

A sign of life from West Ham and Kudus down the left, but the Ghanaian's cross bounces into space with nobody attacking it. Much better attacking intent from the visitors.

It has been raining for most of the afternoon, but it hasn't stopped the flow of the game. Mateta tries to slot the ball into space down the right hand side, but there is no Palace player to take advantage - until Munoz arrives to clean out the West Ham defender. Free-kick to the visitors.

PENALTY SHOUT! Guehi and Antonio tussle in the area - but it's given as a Crystal Palace free-kick. There wasn't much in that but the referee seems to have made the right call.

Lopetegui will want to see more influence from Bowen and Kudus who have struggled to make any sort of impact in the opening 30 minutes. If things continue the same way, it won't be long before we see Summerville and Fullkrug come on.

Adam Wharton seems to be everywhere for Crystal Palace at the minute. The 20-year-old has looked fantastic for the home side, and seems to be winning the midfield battle at the moment.

It's been a really enthralling opening 20 minutes, with Palace having the game's two best chances through Eze and Edouard. Wharton has played his part in both openings and seems to be the main source of danger for the Hammers.
