Crystal Palace vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

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

17:03

Full-time at Selhurst Park as second-half goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen earned West Ham a first Premier League win under new manager Julen Lopetegui and condemned Crystal Palace to their first home defeat since early April. Following an enthralling opening 45 minutes where the Eagles largely dominated and should have been in front, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock in the second-half thanks to Soucek and some impressive work down the right hand side from debutant Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It took the Hammers only five minutes to increase their lead as captain Bowen fired a brilliant left-footed drive inside the near post for his first-ever goal against Palace. Thanks for reading!

CHANCE! Nearly an immediate reply from Palace. Sarr who has just come on for Edouard fizzes an inticing ball into the area. Mateta is incoming but the Frenchman cannot get there in time to prod the ball in the back of the net. Inches away...

There has been a lot of turnover of possession with players giving the ball away at every opportunity. Both teams seem to be readying some changes...

Edouard tries to divert a shot on goal but Kilman is there to block first, before Coufal helps out with the second effort before West Ham are awarded the free kick.

ALMOST! Antonio puts in a fierce ball down the right which catches everyone off guard. Soucek tries to throw a leg at it, but Palace manage to scramble the ball into the arms of Henderson. Lucky escape for the home side...

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

16:13

The expected goals (xG) currently stands at 0.77 for both teams as the game opens up in the second-half. Both teams have been guilty of giving the ball away a lot since the break, it's been a sloppy start.

Yellow Card Jefferson Andrés Lerma Solís

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

16:09

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

16:08

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

16:06

Kudus drives down the left brilliantly, but his attempted cross is blocked by Richards. The Hammers are seeing the better of the play in the opening minutes of the second-half.

Crystal Palace get the second-half underway at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:56

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:52

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:47

HALF-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-0 WEST HAM

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:47

Crystal Palace should be 1-0 up but they will be heading into half-time level with the visitors.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:47

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!

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:43

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:41

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:40

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:38

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:36

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:34

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:32

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:30

Palace are keeping hold of possession after a frantic opening 25 minutes. The visitors are looking to press at every opportunity, but the home side are moving the ball quickly to get themselves out of trouble.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:28

Lerma tries his luck from distance but his effort sails high and wide. The Colombian midfielder is starting in place of Will Hughes who misses out today through illness.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:27

Palace have a corner but it is cleared as far as Wharton, whose ball back into the Hammers box misses the head of Richards.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:27

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.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:24

CLOSE! It's end-to-end stuff at Selhurst Park and Palace aren't far off again. Eze superbly whips in a delightful cross but its ahead of Mateta who can't make up enough ground, while Edouard doesn't gamble at the far post either. Inches away...

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:21

THAT SHOULD BE 1-0! Edouard bears down on the West Ham goal after being played in superbly by Mateta but the Palace striker fires wide when he should have probably troubled Areola in the Hammers goal.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:19

CHANCE! Adam Wharton slides in Eberechi Eze but Alphonse Areola is out quickly in the West Ham goal and spreads his body to save from the England international. Massive opportunity for Palace to take the lead...

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:18

The game has been played at a ferocious pace early on with both teams providing a threat every time they come forward.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:17

CHANCE! A poor Crystal Palace ball goes straight to Bowen who drives forward, finding Soucek who in turn finds Kudus. The forward's initial shot is blocked, but the second is a rocket which crashes wide. Warning signs for the Eagles.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:16

Palace have settled into the game after that early scare, with Adam Wharton looking particularly sharp in midfield. Glasner's side have been able to get the ball down and play, with the Holmesdale Road End in fine voice urging them on at every opportunity.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:13

WIDE! Corner for West Ham, which is nodded on cleverly by Max Kilman, but Antonio cannot reach it at the back post to bury home. The Hammers will continue to be a threat from set pieces.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:11

The home side have settled back into the game after a bright start from the visitors. It's been an encouraging start from Chadi Riad who is making his debut in place of Joachim Andersen following his £30m move to Fulham.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:08

INCHES AWAY! Crystal Palace have their first foray forward as Mateta lays off the ball to Eze who sees his effort deflected narrowly over the bar. Areola was left scrambling...

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:05

WHAT A CHANCE! Bowen's early corner is swung in brilliantly and headed on by Soucek but Antonio cannot direct his header on target and fires wide. Massive let off for Palace early on.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

15:01

The rain is pouring down but the atmosphere at Selhurst Park is rocking. West Ham get the game underway!

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

14:59

The teams are in the tunnel and kick-off will commence shortly at Selhurst Park. The Eagles won their final four home matches of last season by an aggregate score of 16-2 and also won their last two home meetings with West Ham United, including the aforementioned seven-goal triumph in April.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

14:34

Meanwhile, Julen Lopetegui keeps faith with the West Ham team that lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa last weekend. Fit-again Edson Alvarez is on the bench replacing Andy Irving, as are summer signings Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka who returns to the club where he came through the youth ranks.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

14:30

Oliver Glasner makes three changes to the Crystal Palace side that started last weekend’s defeat at Brentford. Debutant Chadi Riad, Jefferson Lerma and Odsonne Edouard come in, replacing Daichi Kamada, Will Hughes and Joachim Andersen, who joined Fulham on Friday. Marc Guehi who has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United captains the side on his 100th Premier League appearance for the Eagles.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

14:30

WEST HAM SUBS: Lukasz Fabianksi, Aaron Cresswell, Crysencio Summerville, James Ward-Prowse, Niclas Fullkrug, Danny Ings, Jean-Clair Todibo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Edson Alvarez.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

14:30

Meanwhile, Julen Lopetegui’s tenure as West Ham head coach began with a 2-1 loss at home to Aston Villa, with one of the Hammers’ summer transfer targets Jhon Duran netting the winner for Unai Emery’s side. One of Lopetegui’s main tasks will be to integrate his new signings into his first eleven, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Niclas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville and Jean-Clair Todibo all hoping to start from the outset. The Hammers head into today’s enthralling London derby having lost each of their last three Premier League games against fellow London rivals, with their last two seeing them lose 5-2 at Palace and 5-0 against Chelsea.

Crystal Palace vs West Ham United

14:30

Crystal Palace will be hoping to secure their first win of the Premier League season following an unfortunate defeat against Brentford last weekend. The Eagles were made to rue a refereeing howler from Sam Barrott, who admitted after the match that he made a mistake by blowing his whistle too early to disallow a brilliant first-half free-kick from Eberechi Eze. Palace will be without centre-back Joachim Andersen and forward Jordan Ayew following their moves to Fulham and Leicester City respectively, however, Olivier Glasner will be hoping for a positive performance from Marc Guehi amid continued speculation linking the England international with a move to Newcastle United.
