West Ham: form and statistics

West Ham is in a difficult situation. At the end of last season, they almost forgot how to win and finished in 14th place in the Premier League. After the summer break, their problems have only worsened and the coaching staff has been shaken up. In the first four rounds of the new season, West Ham beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 but lost to Sunderland, Chelsea, and Tottenham. With only three points, they are in 18th place. They have also been eliminated from the League Cup after losing to Wolverhampton.

Crystal Palace: form and statistics

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are in great form. The Londoners suffered their last official defeat on April 16th, when they were beaten by Newcastle in the Premier League by a score of 0:5. Since then, they have not lost in any of their 16 games, and during this time they managed to win the FA Cup and Super Cup. Oliver Glasner's side have already played four matches in the current Premier League schedule, winning one game and drawing three more, against Aston Villa (3:0), Chelsea (0:0), Nottingham Forest (1:1) and Sunderland (0:0). So far, this has been enough for them to secure ninth place in the table.
