Prediction: 1-1
West Ham
There will be fireworks when Crystal Palace and West Ham United face each other in the London derby at Selhurst Park. The Eagles experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Man City, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Hammers on home soil. The likes of Ferguson, Hennessey, Kelly, Sakho, Schlupp, and Wickham are all out of contention through injuries for the hosts.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on the FA Cup win (4-0) over Doncaster. West Ham are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in all competitions, but beating Palace on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Defender Arthur Masuaku should be the only absentee in the away team.
