Crystal Palace vs West Ham Prediction and Preview – 17/10/15
Premier League preview – Crystal Palace vs West Ham prediction
Palace are without new boy Kwesi Appiah while there are still questions over the fitness of Connor Wickham, Marouane Chamakh, and Joel Ward.
Alexander Song is the only injury for West Ham so Slaven Bilic is unlikely to make many changes.
Possible Line-ups
Palace: 4-2-3-1 formation: McCarthy; Kelly, Hangeland, Dann, Soare; McCarthur, Cabaye; Zaha, Puncheon, Bolasie; Gayle
West Ham: 4-2-3-1 formation: Adrian; Jenkinson, Reid, Ogbonna, Creswell; Kouyate, Noble; Lanzini, Payet, Moses; Sakho

- Palace have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches
- West Ham have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches

Prediction
Both of these teams have been in fine form and have made unexpectedly bright starts to the season.
They each have plenty of goalscoring options so goals could be on the cards on Saturday. West Ham have netted 17 times this term while Palace have scored 11 times.
West Ham’s recent away form suggests they could produce another result but Selhurst Park is always an intimidating atmosphere. Either way this should be an entertaining London derby.
