West Ham welcome Crystal Palace to the London Stadium tonight as David Moyes’s side aim to continue a spectacular run of form. 

The Hammers have won four of their last five games, with cunning set-piece play proving Leeds’ undoing last time out. Their resurgence this season has seen West Ham taking 20 points from their opening 12 games and victory tonight could even see them move into the top four.

Crystal Palace have not been quite as consistent, with five wins matched by as many defeats, however, Roy Hodgson’s side are full of confidence after crushing West Brom 5-1 before holding Premier League leaders Tottenham to a draw last weekend. 

Despite criticism in the past over Hodgson’s often negative playing style, the Eagles have found a renewed attacking impetus this season, with Eberechi Eze adding an exhilarating creative outlet, while Wilfried Zaha is in fine form.

Here is everything you need to know:

• West Ham capitalise on Leeds’ set-piece defending
• Crystal Palace hold Tottenham in tense draw

What is the team news?

David Moyes has no fresh injury problems going into this match against Palace, although Michail Antonio and Arthur Masuaku remain sidelined.

This leaves West Ham with plenty of options, with Manuel Lanzini, Ryan Fredericks, Mark Noble and Robert Snodgrass all vying for a place in the starting XI.

Palace also have no real injury concerns, with only Mamadou Sakho a doubt having rarely featured this season.

Roy Hodgson seems to have found the perfect match up with Luka Milivojevic and Christian Benteke.

Benteke has offered a natural focal point to Palace’s attack since being reintroduced into the side in the last two games. The striker even scored two rare goals in the clubs 5-1 route away at West Brom. He has held the ball up well and provided a platform for flair players such as Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze, who will challenge West Ham’s back line.

Jordan Ayew has scored four Premier League goals against West Ham, including the winning goal in both games last season, which may could be factored in by Hodgson.

Predicted line-ups

West Ham United: Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals, Haller.

Crystal Palace: Guaita, Clyne, Kouyate, Cahill, Van Aanholt, Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Eze, Benteke, Zaha.
