The latest set of Premier League fixtures ends with a London derby. 13th placed Crystal Palace welcome West Ham to Selhurst Park with the visitors in 17th position. Can the Hammers get aa vital away victory to boost their survival hopes? Read our match prediction below.
Crystal Palace may be in the bottom half of the Premier League but the Eagles and their fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. After winning the FA Cup and Community Shield, Palace are now in the Conference League semi-finals. The Londoners also still have a chance to finish in the European qualifying positions and have improved their league form after a bad patch in early 2026.
You can imagine the massive cheer that West Ham fans made when Brighton equalized at Spurs on Saturday. That draw has kept the Hammers out of the bottom three. They are a point above the drop zone and a win at Selhurst Park would be a massive result for them.

Crystal Palace - West Ham: Form Analysis
Crystal Palace are 13th in the Premier League but still in with a chance of qualifying for Europe via their final standing. Only six points separate them from the top eight in the table. They won't need to rely on a high finish if the Conference League semi-finalists can go on to win that competition.
Midweek saw them lose 2-1 at Fiorentina but progress 4-2 on aggregate. That defeat in Italy ended an unbeaten run of six games for Palace. Their last Premier League fixture saw them beat Newcastle United 2-1 at home.
Palace have only won four home league games this season with seven being drawn. Only 16 home league goals have been scored by the Eagles but just 19 conceded. Palace struggled for form at the start of this year but have earned seven points from their last three league fixtures.
Massive match for the Hammers.
West Ham United are still in deep relegation trouble with just six games to play. A win over Palace would take them four points clear of the drop zone.The Hammers beat Wolves 4-0 at home in their last league game and that ended a run of three without a win in all competitions.
They have been showing some improvement in recent league fixtures with two of their last four games being won.
On the road, the Irons have had four away league wins but lost eight matches. Only 18 away goals have been scored by them this season. Two of their last three away league fixtures have been lost.

Crystal Palace & West Ham Squad Analysis
Crystal Palace return to Premier League action after their European success on Thursday. They lost that game in Fiorentina but still made it to their first ever European semi-final. However, it wasn't good news for them on the injury front.
Injury problems for the Eagles.
Both Adam Wharton and Maxence Lacroix were injured in the first half and are doubtful for this match against the Hammers. Jean-Philippe Marteta also didn't play in the second half on Thursday but he is expected to be fit to try and add to his 48 Premier League goals.
West Ham continue their fight to stay in the Premier League. They are doing well in terms of injuries at present. Goalie Lukasz Fabianski is likely to be fit for this match as his back problem has improved.
Jarrod Bowen has an important few weeks ahead for him. He will be keen not just to keep West Ham in the top flight but also secure a place in England's squad for the World Cup. He made two assists for the Hammers in their 4-0 win over Wolves and has scored in each of his two league games against Palace.

Our Crystal Palace vs West Ham Prediction
It was looking as if West Ham woud return to the Premier League relegation zone on Saturday. Then Spurs only drew with Brighton and the Hammers are still a point clear of the bottom three. A win at Selhurst Park would be a masive boost to their chances of retaining their Premier League status.
They travel to Crystal Palace who beat them in the reverse fixture. Both of these clubs have had recent league wins and an open game looks likely here. Our main Crystal Palace v West Ham prediction is BTTS.
