There were fears that Crystal Palace’s season would peter out after Oliver Glasner announced his plans to leave Selhurst Park at the end of the campaign. However, the Eagles have looked re-energized in recent weeks, as shown by their passage through to the final four of the Europa Conference League in midweek.
The Eagles have also performed reliably domestically, with their win over Newcastle last Sunday taking their tally of points over their last seven to 13, which has been a perfect response after going nine without a victory beforehand.
Team News:
Edward Nketiah (Hamstring)
Likely Line-Up:
(3-4-3): Henderson (GK); Richards, Lacroix, Lerma; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Larsen, Pino
West Ham Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 8-8-16
- Home Record: 4-4-8
- Road Record: 4-4-8
- Top Goal Scorer: Jarrod Bowen (8)
The increased pressure is likely to be on West Ham on Monday, as they fight for points in their battle to remain in the Premier League. The Hammers sit two points clear of the drop zone after winning two of their last four, with a statement performance delivered with a 4-0 home success against Wolves last Friday.
A victory on Monday could see them end the night as high as 16th. Interestingly, Nuno Espirito Santo’s appointment has salvaged their campaign, with the Hammers winning five of their last eleven. Over the same period, only four teams have picked up more points than the East London club.
Team News:
Lukasz Fabianski (Back)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Hermansen (GK); Walker-Peters, Disasi, Kilman, Diouf; Soucek, Fernandes; Bowen, Pablo, Summerville; Castellanos
Crystal Palace vs. West Ham Prop Pick
Jarrod Bowen is West Ham’s most important attacking player, with only Bruno Fernandes registering more goal involvements in the EPL since the start of 2026. Bowen also has a fine record against Crystal Palace, scoring in his last two appearances against the Eagles. Therefore, he could be the logical prop pick to score at Selhurst Park at odds of +225.

Crystal Palace vs. West Ham Picks
With Palace’s focus likely to switch to their European campaign, this is likely a good fixture for the Hammers. West Ham have an excellent value at Selhurst Park, and it is worth noting that the Eagles have won just one of their previous eight London derbies in front of their own fans.
