West Ham United take on Crystal Palace in a Premier League game on Saturday

Buoyed by successive wins, West Ham will look to collect three points when they host Crystal Palace on Saturday in a 2021-22 Premier League game.

West Ham were ruthless in their 4-1 win over Leicester City last weekend, with Michail Antonio turning in a sumptuous performance. He scored two goals and assisted one, as Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals found the back of the net as well.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss in the EFL Cup to fellow Premier League side Watford. New manager Patrick Vieira has had a difficult start to his tenure, having lost two and drawn one game.

West Ham and Crystal Palace have played 21 matches against each other so far. Both teams have won seven games each, while seven matches have ended with the scores level.
