Fresh from a historic European breakthrough, Crystal Palace return to Premier League action as they host West Ham in a crucial London derby with major implications at both ends of the table.

Current Form & Team News

Crystal Palace may have suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Fiorentina, but their progression to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals marks a significant milestone for the club. With European success now within reach, their league campaign could take a backseat, but recent domestic form suggests they remain competitive.

The Eagles have collected 13 points from their last seven league matches (W4, D1, L2), showing a sharp turnaround after a prolonged winless run earlier in the season. At Selhurst Park, they’ll aim to secure a third consecutive home win across all competitions, something they’ve yet to achieve this campaign.

West Ham, meanwhile, boosted their survival hopes with an emphatic 4-0 win over Wolves last weekend. That result lifted them out of the relegation zone, but their position remains fragile with only a narrow cushion above the drop.

The Hammers have been relatively consistent in recent weeks, picking up five wins from their last 11 league matches, but their inconsistency—especially in key fixtures—continues to be a concern. Their struggles in London derbies and poor Monday performances could also play a role here.

Head-to-Head (H2H)

Crystal Palace are chasing a third consecutive league win over West Ham for the first time in their history. However, recent meetings at Selhurst Park have been mixed, with both sides enjoying success and goals often featuring.
