🗞️ Team News: Crystal Palace

We think that The Eagles look set to make use of the 4-3-3 system for this one with Dean Henderson, Joachim Andersen, Nathaniel Clyne, Daniel Muñoz, Tyrick Mitchell, Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma, Adam Wharton, Eberechi Eze, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Olise.

ℹ️ Team News: West Ham United

Due to a fully injury-free group to choose from, the West Ham United manager David Moyes does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.

We’re of the thinking that The Hammers could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Nayef Aguerd, K. Mavropanos, Emerson, Edson Álvarez, Jamie Ward-Prowse, Mohammed Kudus, Danny Ings, Lucas Paquetá and Michail Antonio.

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that West Ham United would be disappointed if they were not to find the net against this Crystal Palace lineup, but that probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Crystal Palace after the 90.
