Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Sparkles will be flying when West Ham United and Crystal Palace go head to head in the local derby on Sunday afternoon. The Hammers are eyeing their third consecutive league win and they are surely brimming with confidence following a 2-1 triumph over Burnley. Summer signing Mohammed Kudus has established himself as a first-team regular, while Michail Antonio remains on the sidelines with injury. Jarrod Bowen is rated doubtful for the match.
The Eagles, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing four of their last five league matches and given West Ham’s signs of improvement, home win should be considered. As for the away team, both Doucoure and Rak-Sakyi are sidelines with injuries, while duo Tomkins – Eze is rated doubtful and they will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Experienced Ghana forward Jordan Ayew is pushing for a start.
