English Premier League: London Derby featuring West Ham and Crystal Palace
The Hammers are blowing bubbles once more, overcoming a dreadful early season run of form to sit within striking blow of the top 8.
However, injuries have decimated a talented squad to leave it threadbare in all quarters. Indeed, the Hammers have the worst injury record in the league this season, with an average of 7 first-teamers out per Gameweek.
However, the likes of Lanzini and Wilshere are returning to health, and the former should at least make the bench next week, if not this one. West Ham will be buoyant following a brilliant display against Liverpool, however, are in a terrible run of away form having not won any of their last 4 away games.
Despite Marko Arnautovic’s return from injury, the impressive performance of Chicharito against the Reds will surely ensure his starting berth over the Austrian.
