West Ham are still searching for form, winless in their last seven home league games and conceding goals at a worrying rate.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are aiming to bounce back after a frustrating draw against Sunderland, but their away record under Oliver Glasner makes them one of the league’s most reliable travellers.
With both sides eager to set the tone for the weeks ahead, this promises to be an important clash in the early part of the season.

Crystal Palace to win
