Crystal Palace are set to host West Ham United as action returns in the Premier League. Ahead of this game, nine points separate the two sides – Palace on 23 points, in 13th place and West Ham United having managed 32 points, and in seventh place. Crystal Palace haven’t scored in their last three matches and have suffered two losses in the process. They have only one win in the last nine matches, and that came against bottom side Sheffield United. With four losses and 16 goals conceded in the last seven matches, Palace are among the most off form teams at the moment, and they have only scored thrice in the run. They have also been short in defence, keeping only two clean sheets in the last 19 matches. In their last game, Palace lost 4-0 to Manchester City. At home, they have one clean sheet and one win in the last five – against Sheffield United.

West Ham United head to this game on five straight wins, the latest, an easy stroll in the FA Cup against Doncaster Rovers. They won 4-0 to advance to the fifth round, and that win presented a fourth clean sheet in five games, with nine goals scored. The Hammers are unbeaten in seven and have one loss in the last 10 matches. With six wins in their last 10 matches, they will be the favorites here and will want to extend on their run of three straight wins in the league. The visitors are unbeaten in five league games, those coming with three clean sheets and they have scored in eight of the last 10 league matches. Away from home, they have one loss and three wins in the last five league matches. While the team is short of attackers following Sebastien Haller’s exit, they have still managed to get goals. Michail Antonio is the key man in attack at the moment and after being rested in the FA Cup game, he is expected to feature against Palace.
