West Ham face one more London derby before the World Cup as they host Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Hammers fielded a heavily rotated side in their 3-0 victory against FCSB in the Europa Conference League, having already securing first place in their group last week. In the league West Ham are currently 13th, after losing 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford last Sunday.

Important

Crystal Palace are sitting 10th in the league, two points ahead of the Hammers. The Eagles have only lost one of their last five games, coming off a 1-0 victory against Southampton on Saturday.

With only three matches left before the World Cup, this could prove an important time for West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.

 

Bowen has made four appearances for England so far.

The winger has made a few appearances for England in the summer and will hope to be in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man squad for Qatar. Bowen has scored five goals in all competitions so far this season.

West Ham are unbeaten in their last four matches against Crystal Palace, last winning 3-2 at Selhurst Park this January.

Team/Injury News

Nayef Aguerd could make his first league appearance for the Hammers after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. The Moroccan has started West Ham’s last two games in the Europa Conference League.

Keeper Lukasz Fabiański is questionable to play after a knee injury forced him to be substituted off against Manchester United, Lucas Paquetá and Maxwel Cornet remain side-lined.

Palace’s goal scorer last week Odsonne Edouard is questionable to play after suffering a knock.

Summer signing Cheick Doucouré has missed the last two games with the same injury and will also be a late call going into Sunday. Chris Richards and James McArthur remain unavailable.
