West Ham welcome Crystal Palace to the London Stadium for a English Premier League clash on Wednesday. The hosts have won four of their last five league matches and will look to climb closer to the Champions League places with three points against Palace.

West Ham Form

West Ham are on a magnificent run of form having won four of their last five Premier League matches. Their only defeat came at home to Manchester United where they dominated for 60 minutes but conceded three late goals to lose 3-1.

This run has seen West Ham win 1-0 at home to Fulham, 1-0 at Sheffield United and 2-1 at home against Aston Villa. In their last match West Ham defeated Leeds United 2-1 away.

After conceding an early penalty the Hammers came back to draw level through Tomas Soucek before Angelo Ogbonna scored the winner 10 minutes from the end.

West Ham now find themselves in sixth position on the English Premier League table.

West Ham Team News

David Moyes has no new injury concerns. He however remains without wingback Arthur Masuaku and forward Michail Antonio.

This is a busy period so Moyes may look to rotate. Manuel Lanzini is an option in forward areas while central midfielder Mark Noble and winger Robert Snodgrass will be keen to get on the pitch.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace are having a very solid season and currently find themselves in 11th position on the table. They already have five victories from their opening 12 matches.

A 1-0 loss at Burnley and a 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle threatened to derail Palace's fine start to their season but they have bounced back well in their last two matches.

First they smashed West Brom 5-1 away as Wilfred Zaha and Christian Benteke both scored a brace before getting a late point against Tottenham in their last match.

Spurs dominated for much of the match and took the lead through Harry Kane. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita pulled off a number of fine saves to keep the hosts in the game. Jeffrey Schlupp leveled matters in the 81st minute to ensure Palace took a crucial point.

Crystal Palace Team News

Roy Hodgson has played an unchanged side in his last two matches but could opt to make a couple changes for this match to keep players fresh. Winger Andros Townsend and midfielder Jairo Riedewald could both make a start.

Forward Connor Wickham, right-back Martin Kelley and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey are all still out injured.

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Head to Head

West Ham lead Crystal Palace 13-9 in their 33 matches. There have been 11 draws.
