📋 Team News: Crystal Palace
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (Hamstring injury), Marc Guéhi (Knee problems), Cheick Doucouré (Achilles tendon rupture) and Sam Johnstone (Elbow injury) won’t be playing for Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner.
It’s our opinion that The Eagles could employ a 3-4-2-1 system and select Dean Henderson, Rob Holding, Joachim Andersen, Nathaniel Clyne, Daniel Munoz, Tyrick Mitchell, Jairo Riedewald, Adam Wharton, Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
🗞️ Team News: West Ham United
With a fully injury-free group to choose from, the West Ham United boss David Moyes does not have any fitness worries at all ahead of this clash.
We reckon that The Hammers seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson, Tomas Soucek, Edson Alvarez, Mohammed Kudus, James Ward-Prowse, Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen.
💡 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.
