Prediction: 1-1
Crystal Palace
There will be fireworks when West Ham United and Crystal Palace square off against each other in the London derby on Saturday. The Hammers aim to build on a 3-2 win over Fulham and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Palace. All Niclas Fullkrug, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen remain in the recovery room, while pacey winger Crysencio Summerville is a major doubt.
The Eagles, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Leicester City. Crystal Palace aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but beating West Ham away from home, there is a big value in betting on draw. Jefferson Lerma should be fit for the local derby, while all Matheus Franca, Holding, and Wharton continue to miss out through injuries. Japan midfielder Daichi Kamada should once again start from the bench.
Highlighted Player (Eberechi Eze):
Eberechi Eze is a talented football player who was born in Greenwich, England on June 29, 1998. Eze started his youth career at Millwall and in the summer of 2016 he moved to Queens Park Rangers, signing a one-year contract with the capital club.
Eze scored 4 goals in 42 appearances for the Hoops in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, while providing 4 assists for his teammates.His main position is attacking midfield, but he is capable of playing as both right and left midfielder as well. Eze is a footballer of Nigerian descent, but he has yet to make his debut for the Super Eagles in international matches.
Given his place of birth, the 173-cm tall midfielder was eligible to play for the England U20 team and he made his debut for the Three Lions on October 11, 2018 in a 2-1 victory over Italy. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (West Ham):
West Ham United are an English football club based in East London. The club was founded in 1895 and it has to be noted that the club’s name was Thames Ironworks back then. The Hammers were playing their home games at Upton Park from 1904 until 2016, when they moved to the Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
West Ham have won three FA Cup trophies (1964, 1975 and 1980) and they were runners-up in 1923 and 2006. The capital club finished the 1985/1986 England first division campaign in third place in the standings and that is the club’s highest placing in the top flight. West Ham United have strong rivalries with fellow London clubs, but Tottenham Hotspur are considered the club’s main rivals.
