West Ham are hoping to pick up back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since August when they face London rivals Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.

Manuel Pellegrini is still facing a fight to save his job, after The Independent revealed David Moyes was set to return to the London Stadium had the Hammers suffered defeat by Southampton, but a win against Palace would go a long way to restoring confidence.

Roy Hodson’s side have lost momentum in recent weeks, taking just two points from games against fellow relegation rivals Watford, Brighton and Newcastle.

However, they remain 12th in the Premier League table, four points clear of West Ham and a further four clear of the relegation zone.

Match preview:

When is it?

The match kicks off 15.00 on Thursday 26 December.

How can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime.

New subscribers will be able to watch all the matches for free, including Arsenal’s visit to Bournemouth and Liverpool’s top of the table clash against Leicester, due to the company’s 30-day trial, which can be cancelled at any time.

What is the team news?

Mamadou Sakho is able to return after completing his three-match suspension. Gary Cahill, Jairo Riedewald, Joel Ward, Jeffrey Schlupp and Andros Townsend all missed the club’s defeat by Newcastle.

Pellegrini is fretting over the fitness of goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianksi and David Martin, with the disastrous Roberto potentially forced to return to the starting eleven. Manuel Lanzini and Jack Wilshere remain unfit while Ryan Fredericks is suspended.

What are the predicted line-ups?

Crystal Palace: Guaita; Kelly, Sakho, Tomkins, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic, McArthur, Kouyaté, Ayew, Benteke, Zaha.

West Ham: Martin; Zabaleta, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Noble, Anderson; Yarmolenko, Antonio, Haller.

What are the odds?

Crystal Palace 13/10

Draw 12/5

West Ham 2/1
