But before we kick off in East London, here’s something to warm up the footballing brain… How many players can you name who’ve played for both Palace and the Hammers in the Premier League era (since 92/93)?
There are 22 in total. Some you’ll get in seconds – a couple of recent departures: one who left post-COVID, and another the year before last, both loyal servants in red and blue.
There's a familiar face now coaching in our Academy, and one who earned top honours at the Africa Cup of Nations. And then there’s the one with a nickname that made arachnophobes nervous... you know the one! You might also be surprised by a few names you’d forgotten even had a stint in red and blue … or claret and blue.
Your challenge: name them all. You've got 10 minutes, which may seem a long time, but with over 20 players to guess, it will certainly be tough - good luck!
Test your red and blue knowledge now, below!
