After going down in their respective opening-day matches, Crystal Palace and West Ham find themselves rounding up against each other to seal their first victory of the season.
Crystal Palace were deemed unlucky during their season opener versus Brentford as Eberechi Eze’s free-kick goal was ruled out following a mistake by referee Sam Barrott.
The game ended in a 2-1 defeat for The Eagles as goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa cancelled out Ethan Pinnock’s own goal to send the three points in the way of The Bees.

Manager Oliver Glasner stood as the architect behind Palace’s turnaround in performances last season, leading them to finish top ten in the league standings. The London-side has similar hopes from this campaign too but a strong foundation is required to achieve that feat.
Crystal Palace have remained undefeated in their pre-season clashes and they will hope to channelise the same energy and motivation from those games to possibly get the win this weekend.
Meanwhile, West Ham approach this match on the back of a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. The visitors took the lead through Amadou Onana in the 4th-minute and it took Lucas Paqueta’s 37th-minute penalty strike to equalise the scores.

The Hammers failed to build up on the momentum and a late goal from Jhon Duran handed the hosts their first league defeat of the season on opening day.
Following the departure of David Moyes, Julen Lopetegui has been appointed to the helm of the team and he will need to change things around quickly after a mediocre showing in the pre-season friendlies.
