An Intriguing midseason matchup doubles up as another London Derby brings us Crystal Palace hosting West Ham.

The two clubs are currently mired in the tight mid-table pack. With points at a premium, both clubs will be doubly motivated to get a one up on their rival – and take a step up in the table.

Both teams come off the back of encouraging home results in the previous Gameweek. Whilst Palace comfortably defeated relegation rival Fulham 2-0, West Ham pulled off a shock 1-1 draw with title chasers Liverpool, under the London Stadium lights.

Both teams played dynamic counter-attacking football, and it will be interesting to see whose tactics come up trumps at Selhurst Park.

The last fixture between these two sides saw West Ham run out 3-2 winners in an exciting London Derby. If both teams form are an indicator, we might be in for another exciting fixture this time around too.
