There were high hopes surrounding Crystal Palace and West Ham before a ball was kicked this term, but both come into this second round of matches chasing a response after falling to defeat on matchday one. But, which side will respond to their opening day setback in London on Saturday?
Before Betting On Crystal Palace vs West Ham
A European finish will be the goal for both Crystal Palace and West Ham this season, but both will be looking to yearn out more improvement in their performance after falling to defeat in the opening round of matches in the Premier League this season.
Palace could have counted themselves as very unlucky not to have earned at least a point from their away match at Brentford on Sunday, as they looked to have done enough to take a point away from the Gtech Community Stadium. However, they switched off defensively in the final 15 minutes, which enabled the Bees to steal maximum points in the closing minutes of the encounter. A more professional display will be required against the Hammers on Saturday.
West Ham have been one of the most tipped sides to finish in the European positions this term, but they were underwhelming on their return to action in the Premier League on Saturday after falling to a home defeat against Aston Villa. Changes in the starting line-up could be on the horizon this weekend, as Julen Lopetegui could hand first starts to a number of new additions.
Palace have gone four without defeat against the Hammers in the Premier League, achieving three victories across that period. That includes a 5-2 success in this exact fixture last term. The Eagles have netted nine goals in their last two home matches against their London rivals, but the Hammers have won on two of their last four trips to Selhurst Park.
