West Ham will be facing Crystal Palace in a London derby this weekend, with the knowledge that one more win should secure their Premier League survival. The Hammers are currently five points clear of the relegation zone and have the chance to extend that lead to eight points, which would all but guarantee their place in the top-flight for next season.
David Moyes’ team has collected four points from their last three games, which has moved them closer to safety. Meanwhile, Palace has won three of their first five matches since Roy Hodgson returned to Selhurst Park and are now eight points above the drop zone.
The match will kick off at Selhurst Park at 12:30 pm, and live commentary will be available on the talkSPORT website stream or via the app. The Palace XI will consist of Johnstone, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Schlupp, Olise, Eze, Zaha, and Ayew. The West Ham XI will include Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Rice, Soucek, Paqueta, Fornals, Antonio, and Bowen.
