How both teams go into West Ham vs Crystal Palace
Just when West Ham looked to be turning a corner under Julen Lopetegui, they found themselves on the end of 5-0 and 4-1 thrashings against Liverpool and Man City, respectively. The Hammers remain 14th in the table at the time of writing, but a quick run of games could easily see them into the top half. West Ham travel to Aston Villa in the FA Cup and host Fulham in the Premier League before this match.
Palace, meanwhile, have bounced back from their consecutive defeats to Arsenal by taking five points from three games against Bournemouth, Southampton and Chelsea. That means the Eagles have now lost just two of their last 12 Premier League matches, climbing to 15th in the table, five points clear of danger at the time of writing. Oliver Glasner’s men host Stockport in the FA Cup and play away at Leicester in the league before this one.
West Ham team news
Jarrod Bowen will be a huge loss for West Ham, sidelined until early March with a foot injury. Michail Antonio is also out until May, but Lukasz Fabianski should be fit for this match.
Crystal Palace team news
Adam Wharton has a slight chance of returning to the squad for this one, while Will Hughes and Matheus Franca should also be available for selection, if not earlier.
West Ham vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
West Ham beat Palace 2-0 earlier this season, but endured a four-game winless run in this fixture prior to that and have been very poor at home against the Eagles in recent times.
