The Hammers have won their opening two fixtures of a Premier League campaign for only the second time; beating Newcastle United 4-2 and Leicester City 4-1 respectively. 

"It's a super night for us. The team played really well. The sending-off changed the game a little bit. We did a lot of good things," West Ham United manager David Moyes said following their win over the Foxes on Monday. 

"I've challenged the players to find that extra few points that could have been enough to get us in the Champions League.

"I could be asking far too much but what else am I going to do? Stand here and say we want to avoid relegation!"
 
Patrick Vieira is still searching for his first win as Crystal Palace manager. The Eagles started their campaign with a 3-0 loss to Chelsea before being held to a 0-0 draw at home to newly-promoted Brentford last time out.
