West Ham host Crystal Palace on Tuesday night with the hope of bouncing back from their 2-0 defeat against Wigan in the FA Cup.

David Moyes’s side are plagued with a long injury list, that includes Pedro Obiang who suffered a medial crucial ligament at the weekend, while Arthur Masuaku will also be unavailable after being suspended for spitting.

The visitors meanwhile will be without Yohan Cabaye but manager Roy Hodgson may offer a debut to new signing Jaroslaw Jach.

What time does it start?

West Ham vs Crystal Palace kicks off at 7:45pm on Tuesday 30 January.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be not be televised live in the UK. Highlights will be shown at 10:45pm this Wednesday on BBC 1.

It’s a big game for…

Christian Benteke. The Belgian forward has only scored once this season which means that his goal-scoring record is 1480 minutes per strike. That goal came in Palace’s 3-0 win against Leicester in December, with the player struggling for form and confidence once again. A quality performance is desperately needed and could help to get him back on track.

Player to watch

Jaroslaw Jach. The Poland centre-back who signed from Zaglebe Jubin for an undisclosed fee earlier this month will potentially be making his debut at the London Stadium on Tuesday night. Jach, a 23-year-old, 6ft 4in defender, made 17 appearances for Zaglebe Jubin this season before completing his move to east London.
