Crystal Palace and West Ham are heading towards the sweet relief of a mid-table finish, but both sides will still be glancing over their shoulders ahead of their meeting at Selhurst Park.
Roy Hodgson’s return as manager sparked an upturn in form for Palace that arrested their slide and sent them back into 12th, eight points above the bottom three, but the Eagles could only pick up one point from their last two games against Everton and Wolves.
The Hammers have a Conference League semi-final on the horizon but will be aware of the importance of picking up points here, as they are five points clear of the drop and face the two Manchester clubs in their next two games.
Palace won the first meeting of the season 2-1 in November, coming behind after Said Benrahma’s opener to claim victory with a Wilfried Zaha leveller and 94th-minute Michael Olise winner.
Kick-off is at 12.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
