Following their 2-0 win at Selhurst Park in August, West Ham are looking to complete the Premier League double over Crystal Palace for the first time since 2016-17.
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last five Premier League away games against West Ham (W2 D3). Only at Spurs have they had a longer run without defeat on the road in their top-flight history (7 between 1990 and 2004).
West Ham have scored in each of their last 21 Premier League games against Crystal Palace, their longest scoring streak against an opponent in their top-flight history. However, their 2-0 win in the reverse fixture was their first clean sheet against the Eagles in 15 meetings.
Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 22 away London derby matches in the Premier League (D11 L10) and are winless in 13 (D6 L7) since a 2-1 win at West Ham in November 2022.
Following a 3-2 win against Fulham last time out, West Ham are looking to win consecutive London derby matches in the Premier League for the first time since December 2021.
Crystal Palace have won three of their last four Premier League away games, as many as they had in their previous 21. Indeed, the Eagles are unbeaten in six on the road (W3 D3) – they’ve never gone seven without defeat in the top-flight.
Having failed to win any of his six Premier League meetings against Crystal Palace as Brighton manager (D4 L2), new West Ham boss Graham Potter won both of his last two games against the Eagles with Chelsea in the 2022-23 campaign.
Graham Potter is looking to become just the third manager to win both of his first two Premier League games in charge of West Ham, after Trevor Brooking in May 2003 and Gianfranco Zola in September 2008.
Lucas Paquetá has scored in his last two appearances for West Ham in all competitions, last scoring in three consecutive matches back in April 2023.
Crystal Palace’s Ismaïla Sarr has been involved in five goals in his last six Premier League appearances (3 goals, 2 assists), as many as he had in his previous 31 (2 goals, 3 assists).
West Ham United will be hosting Crystal Palace in a highly anticipated Premier League clash this weekend. Both teams will be looking to secure three points and continue their push for a top-half finish in the league.
West Ham United are currently sitting in 6th place in the Premier League table, with 52 points from 31 games. They have been in good form recently, winning four of their last five matches. The Hammers will be looking to build on their impressive run of form and secure another crucial victory against Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are currently in 13th place in the table, with 38 points from 31 games. The Eagles have struggled for consistency this season, but they have shown glimpses of their potential with some impressive performances. They will be hoping to cause an upset and come away with a positive result against West Ham.
In terms of team news, West Ham will be without the services of Michail Antonio and Declan Rice, who are both sidelined with injuries. However, the Hammers will still have plenty of quality in their squad, with the likes of Jesse Lingard and Tomas Soucek in fine form.
Crystal Palace will be missing the injured trio of James Tomkins, Mamadou Sakho, and Nathan Ferguson. However, they will be boosted by the return of Wilfried Zaha, who is expected to feature in the starting lineup.
In terms of head-to-head stats, West Ham have the upper hand against Crystal Palace in recent meetings. The Hammers have won three of their last five encounters against the Eagles, with one draw and one defeat.
Overall, this promises to be an exciting and closely contested match between two London rivals.
