Crystal Palace and West Ham meet in another Premier League London derby at the weekend. Both teams will come into the game in very different frames of mind. The Eagles will be soaring after their incredible 1-0 win at Anfield against Liverpool last weekend, the first defeat on home soil this season for the title-chasing Reds. That win ended a run of five without a win, since Palace beat Burnley 3-0 back on the 24th February. Oliver Glasner’s team lie 14th in the Premier League and likely need another win or two to ensure survival for another season. 

West Ham remain eighth in the Premier League table but David Moyes' team's hold on that position looks tenuous. The Hammers have played a game more than most of the teams around them, two more than Chelsea. They also go into this game on the back of elimination from the Europa League. An early goal from Michail Antonio was not enough as Bayer Leverkusen levelled late on to win the tie 3-1 on aggregate. They were also beaten 2-0 at home by Fulham last week. It promises to be a real battle between the teams from 6th to 13th in the EPL for that final Europa Conference League spot. Eight points separate the eight teams with the Hammers in the midst of that group.
