You'll see in the team news below that Christian Benteke is a surprise omission from the Crystal Palace squad.
Roy Hodgson has been speaking before kick-off and says the striker has a muscle strain that will keep him out of action for a few weeks.

They were due to play Liverpool last time out but that game was postponed due to the Reds exploits in the Club World Cup.
Manuel Pellegrini's side won their last game 1-0 at Southampton but still start today just two places above the drop zone.
Remarkably Roy Hodgson has never won a Premier League match on Boxing Day. Will he get a late gift this year and end that run?
Or will West Ham gain another much needed win?
We'll find out soon enough.

We're one game down on this bumper day of Premier League football and now it's time for six more.
Crystal Palace v West Ham will be the focus here.
Crystal Palace v West Ham (15:00 GMT)
Crystal Palace make just a couple of changes from their 1-0 loss at Newcastle last time out.
Mamadou Sakho is back from injury which sees Cheikhou Kouyate's move back into his preferred position in central midfield while James McCarthy drops to the bench.
Elsewhere, Max Meyer replaces Christian Benteke with the Belgian not in the Palace squad.

Pablo Zabaleta replaces Ryan Fredericks at right-back in the only other change.
Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson are back on the bench after absences through injury and illness respectively.
