West Ham vs Crystal Palace live stream and match preview
Looking for an West Ham vs Crystal Palace live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
West Ham are having a somewhat poor season, in relation to the high standards they have set over the previous campaigns. Scoring goals seems to be the issue for David Moyes' side, though, with West Ham managing to bag just 11 goals in the 13 games they have played.
Defensively they seem strong, conceding just 13 goals in that period, but strikers Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca are struggling to find the target in the Premier League. They have just two goals each so far, and need to start finding the net more regularly if West Ham are to climb up the table from their current position of 13th.
However, they comfortably progressed in their Europa Conference League group, winning all six games as they target the latter rounds of that competition. More consistent performances in the Premier League could certainly help propel them up the table.
Lucas Paqueta returns to the Hammers XI, while Thomas Soucek makes his 100th Premier League appearance for the club.
Crystal Palace have been more consistent this season, winning, drawing and losing four times each in the 12 games they have played. Against opposition higher up the table the Eagles have struggled somewhat, but in games against teams around them they have regularly picked up points. Consequently, they are sat 10th in the table.
Patrick Vieira has got his Palace side playing with confidence and style, too, with players such as Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise impressing on a weekly basis. More goals are certainly needed in the side, but defensively they look solid with Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen marshalling the defence.
Cheick Doucoure returns to the Crystal Palace XI after missing the last two matches through injury.
He is one of three changes from the team that beat Southampton last weekend, with Luka Milivojevic dropping to the bench as Nathaniel Clyne replaces Joel Ward and Jordan Ayew comes in for Odsonne Edouard.
James McArthur and Christopher Richards are both still missing through injury.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
