West Ham v Crystal Palace Team News

The Hammers head into this encounter 5^th in the table, not a surprise given the easy fixtures they’ve had. Having lost only once this season, at home to champions Man City, Manuel Pellegrini’s boys will have a chance to maintain their splendid form against an uninspired Palace side.

They are a formidable side at home and have convincingly beaten Manchester United and Norwich City. The momentum is with them and should they extend their fine run of form, West Ham could seriously mount a challenge for the top six. Their Chilean coach has managed to build a brand of entertaining football with Ukrainian Yarmalenko leading the charges. The forward in form inspired West Ham to a thrilling comeback to earn a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth last weekend.

The visitors have had a mixed run of results. A loss to Tottenham mid-September was followed by a draw against 10 man Wolves and most recently they came out 2-0 winners against Norwich City. Clearly, Roy Hodgson has his work cut out in steadying the palace ship. Their lack of consistency might count to their misfortunes in this fixture.

However, the Eagles are improving. A 2-0 home win against Norwich may prove to be their launchpad as it propelled them to the first half of the table. They are currently sitting 9^th on the standings and will be looking for inspiration from their Ivorian forward, Wilfried Zaha. Their star man seems to have refocused his energy to the side despite being in the middle of intense summer transfer talks.

Injured or Suspended Players:

West Ham: Michail Antonio, Lukasz Fabianski, Winston Reid.

Crystal Palace: Luka Milivojevic, Connor Wickham.

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Predictions

On paper, this is a close match. Only one point separates both teams. The Hammers are formidable at home and the Eagles are a side known to cause major upsets. West Ham have conceded 9 goals this season. 5 of them have come from a mercurial Manchester City side. In the other 6 games, they have kept 3 clean sheets and conceded over 1.5 goals just once. The derby could be a low scoring affair since most Crystal Palace matches have seen under 2.5 goals (5 out of 7).

With the wind blowing in the Hammers’ sails and given their home advantage, they should deliver the goods here although narrowly.
