Match preview

West Ham have saved their best performances for matches at the London Stadium this season and can begin a streak of three straight home fixtures before the World Cup with victory over Crystal Palace.

The Hammers have won each of their last six home games in all competitions, swatting aside Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth in the Premier League as part of that run.

But even in their last two away contests in the league, West Ham put in decent performances in 1-0 defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United, with David De Gea twice called upon to deny Michail Antonio at Old Trafford last time out while Jarrod Bowen missed a penalty at Anfield.

The Europa Conference League group stage is now behind them and they can start to climb the standings with victory over Palace, who are yet to take maximum points on the road this season.
