Premier League 
West Ham will be aiming to make it three wins on the bounce when they host Crystal Palace at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon in a game which is set to kick off at 14:00.
After making a decent start to their league campaign, the Hammers are currently sitting inside the top half of the Premier League table in 9th position. David Moyes’ side have gained 20 points from their opening 13 league games following 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Last time out, the Hammers left it late to secure all three points against Burnley. Burnley took the lead early in the second half when Jay Rodriguez converted a penalty. West Ham struggled to break down the Clarets' defence, but they eventually got back into the game when a cross from Mohammed Kudus was turned into the net by O'Shea under pressure from Divin Mubama.
The Hammers continued to push for a winner, and they were rewarded in stoppage time when Soucek rose highest to meet a cross from Benrahma and head home the winner.
Crystal Palace currently find themselves in 13th position in the table having amassed 15 points from their 13 league games so far this campaign. The Eagles come into this match on the back of a poor run of form which has seen them lose four of their last five league outings.
Last time out, Palace suffered an unlikely defeat as they were narrowly beaten by Luton. Substitute Jacob Brown struck late for the Hatters who secured their first home Premier League win.
