Crystal Palace’s recent journeys to east London have led to bruising battles and this week Roy Hodgson’s men will face a West Ham United side in fine form.
After their opening day 5-0 defeat to current champions Manchester City, West Ham are unbeaten in the league - notching three wins and three draws from their seven games this season.
However, following a 4-0 defeat to Oxford United in the Carabao Cup, West Ham may have seen their confidence knocked somewhat and could only manage a 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth last Saturday despite having taken the lead in the 10th minute.
