Match Preview

A second straight week means a second consecutive London derby for Crystal Palace this weekend. The Eagles will be hoping to bounce back to form after being tipped up as potential dark horses for a European spot this term. Palace come into this weekend after suffering defeat on matchday one, but confidence would have been gained from their performance against Brentford.

Palace looked to have done enough to rescue a point at the Bees last weekend, as an Ethan Pinnock own goal pulled them level with just over half an hour remaining. However, Brentford secured maximum points with just 14 minutes remaining on the clock, meaning that a response will be expected by the Eagles on Saturday.

West Ham have spent big this summer in the hope of breaking back into the European positions in the Premier League. However, it wasn’t the start to the season that the Hammers would have been hoping for, as they suffered a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. But, West Ham will likely improve with the more minutes that their new additions play alongside one another.

West Ham’s record on the opening day of the season means that their loss was no great surprise. The Hammers have won just once in their last nine matchday one encounters in the Premier League, losing each of their last four at home. However, this weekend’s clash at Selhurst Park could be an ideal opportunity to bounce back.
