Two Premier League teams looking to win back-to-back games lock horns at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon as West Ham United play host to Crystal Palace.
West Ham United:
West Ham United will look to build on their midweek 3-2 victory over Fulham when they host Crystal Palace on Saturday. Despite a nervy finish, the Hammers secured a vital win, lifting them to 13th in the Premier League, 10 points above the relegation zone. Manager Graham Potter, who marked his Premier League managerial debut with the victory, was pleased with the application of his players, especially given the absence of key attacking trio Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio, and Niclas Fullkrug. West Ham will aim for a first-ever Premier League double over Palace since the 2016-17 season, having won the reverse fixture 2-0 earlier this campaign. Their formidable record against the Eagles, scoring in each of their last 21 encounters, will give them confidence ahead of the London derby.
Crystal Palace:
Crystal Palace are in solid form, going unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions, including a 2-0 win at Leicester City on Wednesday. Goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi extended their unbeaten away run to six matches, their longest since 1992. However, the Eagles have struggled in away London derbies, winning just one of their last 22 Premier League encounters (D11 L10), and they are winless in their last 13 away games against West Ham. Despite this, Palace will be buoyed by their recent record at the London Stadium, where they are unbeaten in their last five visits. With their unbeaten start to 2025 still intact, Palace will be looking to continue their strong away form and climb further up the table.
