Comments and predictions for West Ham vs Crystal Palace: A shining duet

Two Premier League sides looking to make it back-to-back wins will go head-to-head at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon as West Ham United host Crystal Palace.

The Eagles will be looking for revenge against the Hammers after they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the first leg at Selhurst Park at the end of August last year.

Latest West Ham vs Crystal Palace team information

West Ham will be without Antonio (foot), Bowen (foot), Fullkrug (hamstring) and Jean-Clair Todibo (unspecified) through injury, while Crysencio Summerville (thigh) is a doubt and will be assessed before kick-off after missing the midweek win over Fulham.

Paqueta was deployed as a false nine in the last game and the Brazilian could keep his place in a central role if Potter does not opt ​​to give Danny Ings a central role.

Vladimir Coufal will hope to win a place in the starting line-up, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka is likely to retain his place at right-back, joining Max Kilman, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Emerson Palmieri in a back four.

As for Crystal Palace, Matheus Franca (muscle) and Adam Wharton (groin) remain sidelined through injury, while Jefferson Lerma will be assessed after he was withdrawn in the 20th minute of Palace's win over Leicester due to illness.

Mateta, Eberechi Eze, Will Hughes and Tyrick Mitchell were among those who also picked up illness ahead of the game, but all started against the Foxes and are likely to feature again this weekend.

Lerma's potential absence will likely see Cheick Doucoure or Daichi Kamada given a chance to start in central midfield alongside Hughes, while the rest of Glasner's squad is likely to remain the same.

Latest football review West Ham vs Crystal Palace

Four days after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup, Graham Potter marked his Premier League managerial debut with West Ham by guiding the Hammers to a much-needed 3-2 win over Fulham at the London Stadium on Tuesday night.

Although Alex Iwobi's second-half brace set up a tense finish, goals from Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta eventually secured maximum points for West Ham, who climbed to 13th in the Premier League table, 10 points above the relegation zone and nine points off the top seven.

Potter admitted that the Hammers' win over Fulham was "nervous" at times and his side "couldn't get carried away", but he was pleased with the dedication of his players and seeing the three goals go in, especially with attacking trio Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug all injured.

West Ham, who have not won consecutive Premier League games since February/March 2024, will be looking to complete a top-flight double against Crystal Palace for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign when the two sides face off on Saturday.

The Hammers will be confident of finding the back of the net, having scored in each of their last 21 Premier League meetings with the Eagles - their longest scoring streak against a single opponent in top-flight history.

Crystal Palace made it five games unbeaten in all competitions and maintained their unbeaten start to 2025 as they won 2-0 away at Leicester City on Wednesday night.

Second-half goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi helped the Eagles claim maximum points for the third time in their last four Premier League away games, as well as extending their unbeaten run away from home to six games - their longest run in the top flight since February 1992.

Oliver Glasner was pleased with his players' reaction following a "louder" dressing room discussion at half-time, and the Austrian boss now sees his Palace side sitting in 15th place in the table, eight points above the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace go into Saturday's game against West Ham having won just one of their last 22 away Premier League London derbies (D11 L10) and they are winless in their last 13 since beating the Hammers 2-1 in November 2022.

However, the Eagles' recent form at West Ham is promising ahead of the trip to the London Stadium, as they are unbeaten in their last five away meetings with the East Londoners; only against Tottenham Hotspur have they had a longer unbeaten run away from home against an opponent in top-flight history (seven games between 1990 and 2004).
