Most recent H2Hs: Level pegging
There is nothing to separate these two teams when looking back at their last five encounters as each has come away with two wins, one draw and two defeats. The pair played out a goalless draw at the London Stadium in November's reverse league meeting.

Everton preview: Unbeaten in eight
The Toffees certainly weren't at their best last weekend away at Wolves, in what was arguably their worst performance since Moyes took charge of the club.
However, Everton still managed to take the lead in this game via a 33rd-minute deflected effort from Jack Harrison, but Wolves got back onto level terms before the break, and there were no further goals in the second half.
Moyes will be without the services of Orel Mangala, Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye and Armando Broja this weekend, due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Doucoure, Garner, Lindstrom, Harrison & Beto

West Ham preview: Lost three of last five
West Ham put in plenty of effort at home to Newcastle last time out but still failed to come away with any points.
A tight and tense game, which wasn't exactly easy on the eye, was eventually decided via a 63rd-minute goal from Newcastle's Brno Guimaraes, making it three defeats in five for Graham Potter's men.
Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville and Vladimir Coufal make up the four main injury concerns for the Hammers ahead of their trip to Goodison Park.
Predicted lineup: Areola (GK), Cresswell, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Scarles, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Alvarez, Kudus & Bowen

Player to watch: Jack Harrison
Prior to the Wolves game, Moyes demanded more goals and assists from his wingers to take some of the pressure off the likes of Beto and Doucoure.
Jack Harrison responded with his first goal for the club in 13 months which helped Everton to secure a point away at Wolves last time out. Harrison is a hardworking winger who has plenty of ability but seems to have lost all confidence over the last year with the Toffees.
Ended his 13-month goal drought against Wolves
Perhaps the goal against Wolves will inspire the Englishman to go on a good run of form in front of goal because, as we all know, when you wait so long for a bus, another one arrives straight after.
