West Ham v Crystal Palace

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Preview

West Ham manager Graham Potter chalked up his first win as the boss of The Hammers in midweek in the Premier League after his side registered a 3-2 home win against Fulham and the hosts will no doubt be eager for a repeat performance on Saturday afternoon when they entertain Crystal Palace at the London Stadium.

Crystal Palace extended their improved run of form of late in the English top flight with a 2-0 midweek win away from home at Leicester City and likewise, The Eagles will be keen for a repeat of that scoreline when they make the relatively short journey across the nation's capital to take on West Ham on Saturday afternoon.

Despite picking up all three points in Graham Potter's second game in charge of the hosts, West Ham have produced a mixed bag of results throughout the whole of this season's Premier League campaign to date as The Hammers have collected seven wins, five draws but also nine defeats in their 21 matches played so far this term.

Four out of West Ham's seven wins this season have been achieved on home soil at their London Stadium with victories gained over Ipswich Town 4-1, Manchester United 2-1, Wolves 2-1 and of course the midweek 3-2 win against Fulham.

Goals may also appeal here as eight out of West Ham's 11 home games to date have resulted in both teams scoring.

Crystal Palace are slowly but surely climbing up the Premier League table after a poor start to this season's campaign as The Eagles have registered recent wins against Southampton and Leicester City respectively along with picking up useful points in the shape of draws with Bournemouth and Chelsea as well.

Oliver Glasner's side now find themselves occupying 14th place in the Premier League standings ahead of this weekend's top flight action and having slipped to just the two defeats within their previous 13 games overall, The Eagles will be confident that they can walk away from the London Stadium with something to show for their efforts.

Losses to Fulham and Arsenal have been overshadowed by collecting five wins overall along with being involved in no fewer than six stalemates as well, while goals have also been very apparent as eight out of Crystal Palace's last 13 games have also resulted in both teams scoring.

In terms of which team is more likely to pick up the all-important three points here, Crystal Palace look to have a decent chance as the visitors bring a six-match unbeaten sequence away from home into this upcoming encounter.
