Preview...

It’s a big game for…

Michail Antonio: His fine run of form lately has led to interest for the striker from several big clubs. The frontman is a key player to the Hammers attack, full of ability when in possession.

Best stat…

These two clubs have played each other 65 times, with West Ham just edging the advantage with 26 wins under their belt.

Remember when…

The absence of Dimitri Payet will be a huge loss this weekend, as he seeks interest from other clubs. His wonder goal in the return fixture at the London Stadium is just one example of the 29-year-old’s sublime ability.

Player to watch…

Patrick Bamford: The youngster could be handed his second debut for Middlesbrough following completion of a permanent move from Stamford Bridge. With a tremendous goal record in his previous loan spell at the club, he offers boss Aitor Karanka a strong attacking option.

Past three-meetings…

West Ham 1 (Payet) Middlesbrough 1 (Stuani) , Premier League, October 2016

West Ham 1 (Faye) Middlesbrough 1 (Ogbeche), Championship, March 2012

Middlesbrough 0 West Ham 2 (Piquionne, Cole), Championship, November 2011

Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm Premier League kick-offs, where Manchester United take centre stage as they look to continue their 16-match unbeaten run against Stoke City, with Mark Hughes looking to claim victory against the side he used to play for.

Bournemouth welcome a Watford side that has not won any of their last six Premier League games to the Vitality Stadium, while Crystal Palace continue to search for their first league victory under Sam Allardyce with in-form Everton travelling south to Selhurst Park, fresh off the back of their 4-0 thumping of Manchester City.

Middlesbrough welcome West Ham to the Riverside, with Slaven Bilic hoping his side can build on last weekend's 3-0 victory over Palace even though Dimitri Payet remains a well-publicised absentee, and West Brom entertain Sunderland at the The Hawthorns with the chance to move out of the relegation zone.

Follow the latest action here, with team news set to land at 2pm.

CRYSTAL PALACE v EVERTON

Schlupp and Remy both make their first Premier League starts for Palace, meanwhile Everton remain unchanged following their victory against Manchester City. Mind due, I do not blame them for that - if it's not broke, don't fix it.

MIDDLESBROUGH v WEST HAM

The visitors have the first chance of the game within just two minutes, with Antonio just missing the chance from close range. Middlesbrough look slow from the off.
