West Ham almost take the lead inside the first minute. Manuel Lanzini bursts down the left and plays a low ball across the area which Dimitri Payet only manages to toe wide.

Crystal Palace get the match under way.

Right. I want your thoughts on the match today - #bbcfootball , externalor BBC Match of the Day Facebook, external

The players are in the tunnel. There's early millennium house music blasting out inside the stadium. We are four minutes from kick-off.

Remember tropical Croydon at the start of the season? It's parkers and padded jackets at Selhurst Park today.

The dance troupe The Crystals are doing their best to put on their best brave faces on the pitch as they entertain the crowd.

Hammers bossSlaven Bilicis hoping to stop Palace from picking up their third successive league win - he has forwards Enner Valencia and Andy Carrolltobring on after they were both named on the bench.

Ecuadorian Valencia has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in a Europa League qualifying tie in July, while Carroll is available after shaking off a knock.

Carroll has been blighted by injuries since joining West Ham on a permanent £15m deal in 2013.

"I heard about that before, that sometimes he got injured because he was not totally dedicated to being a footballer," said Bilic. 

"From my first day, he was injured. But the way he was working - in six to eight weeks of struggle that was boring and not ideal and not fun - he did it as a great professional and now we are expecting big benefits out of that."

So there Carroll haters!

OK Palace and West Ham fans, how much have you paid to watch this game? How much do you pay for tickets over the season?

'Alan Pardew, England manager'

There. I've said it. He's mentioned it this week too, in a very roundabout way.

Or perhaps sanity warns some against taking up the position.

But I digress from Pardew's achievement at Palace which must surely make him a contender for the England role when Roy Hodgson vacates the position.

The Eagles are a remarkable fourth in the table and face sixth-place  London rivals West Ham, who themselves have made a superb start to the season.
