Today’s two protests involving West Ham fans both ended at the directors’ entrance to the London Stadium.

Fans group Hammers United lined the route along Marshgate Lane up to the directors' entrance to the London Stadium with the protest lasting for more than an hour

A second protest, organised by Crossed Hammers, said they expected several hundred fans to march from Stratford train station to the ground via the Carpenters' Arms pub.

On the protests, West Ham head coach Graham Potter said while he respects supporters' right to protest, everyone at the club was "hurting" at the club's struggles.

Potter, who has only won six of 22 league games since replacing Julen Lopetegui in January, said: "We have to just focus on the game. It's as simple as that. We completely respect the supporters' right to protest because clearly the most important people are the fans.

"But everyone connected with West Ham, everyone's the same, everyone loves the club. Everybody wants the club to succeed and everyone's hurting."

Thousands of West Ham fans have been protesting this afternoon about how the club is run and called for chairman David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady to leave the Hammers.

The protests have been happening before their home game against Crystal Palace with Graham Potter's side 18th in the Premier League with only three points from four matches and already out of the Carabao Cup.

Two separate protests close to their London Stadium home have seen thousands of supporters march to the ground holding a variety of banners and flags calling for change at the club.

Fan group Hammers United are organising the larger of the protests and said this was "the start of a sustained campaign and a series of protests which must be vigorous, but within the law".

They added: "If we are going to get our club back our fanbase is going to have to fight. With Brady and Sullivan at the helm our club is going to die. It is in serious decline and dying a slow death.

"We must show the world that Brady and Sullivan's position is untenable and they must step aside for the good of the club. They must have no more involvement in the running of West Ham United.”

We will be bringing you all the reaction from the players and managers following that somewhat dull Merseyside derby.

But let's turn our attention to our 3pm kick-offs.

Derby games aren't necessarily the most exciting games or the best quality of game but from a Liverpool point of view it is all about the getting the result and the three points. That's the most important thing.

Liverpool keep their 100% record going in the Premier League. Five wins from five means they are guaranteed to stay top of the table for at least another week.

Jack Grealish and David Moyes are straight over the officials to have an angry word.

Grealish is shown a yellow card and Jordan Pickford pushes him away to avoid getting another.

And that will be that.

Liverpool hold on to come out on top of the Merseyside derby once again.

One last chance for Everton who launch the ball up the pitch.

Liverpool keep it in the corner and Mohamed Salah is fouled by Tyler Dibling.

That just eats up more time for the Reds.

Liverpool have a corner. All they have to do is keep the ball at this end of the pitch.

I thought that there'd be slightly more stoppage time. I really did.

Just three minutes of stoppage time.

Jack Grealish goes for the spectacular, but his volley is well over.

A vital header from Milos Kerkez to stop Jake O'Brien to heading home at the back post.

Everton are on the attack. Milos Kerkez heads the ball out for a throw in which Jake O'Brien launches into the danger zone.

Kerkez manages to clear again, but Liverpool aren't safe yet.

Moyes is certainly going for it isn't he?

Tyler Dibling and Carlos Alcaraz are on for Everton. Iliman Ndiaye Iliman and Vitalii Mykolenko are off.

Three minutes plus stoppage time left.

Mohamed Salah could have found the back of the net here if he had gone with his right foot, but he turns to his favoured left and James Tarkowski gets the block in.

Salah was offside anyway.
