Three games in and Patrick Vieira hasn’t guided Crystal Palace to a win. He will have another chance when the team heads to West Ham United for a third straight London derby in the Premier League. West Ham have had a completely opposite campaign so far, winning both their opening matches. The Hammers go to this game straight from a 4-1 win over Leicester City, which was also their fifth straight win across all competitions. They are top of the standings, with maximum points from two matches and also having scored the most goals – eight. Michail Antonio has scored three goals in the opening two matches and will hope to extend this run in the weekend clash. Last season, West Ham finished sixth, securing European football and will be looking to win as much as they can before the fixtures get congested. In Premier League action, they are unbeaten in the last five, with four straight wins and having scored three or more in the last four. However, they only have one clean sheet in 13 league matches.

Crystal Palace are 14th in the standings with one point from the opening three league matches, but they are coming from a defeat to Watford, which saw them eliminated from the League Cup. It hasn’t been an easy start for the Eagles as so far, in their three games this season, they have no goal. In their last five matches, they have only one clean sheet and in Premier League action, they are winless in the last four. Palace have one clean sheet in five league games, and have conceded two or more goals in four of five in the league.
