Crystal Palace v West Ham: Eagles Aiming to Keep Rejuvenated Hammers at Bay
West Ham's Resurgence
Crystal Palace will face off against a rejuvenated West Ham United on Saturday, April 21, 2024, at Selhurst Park in London. The Hammers have enjoyed a remarkable turnaround under new manager David Moyes, climbing to the upper half of the Premier League table after a disappointing start to the season.
Eagles' Recent Dominance
The Eagles, on the other hand, have had a mixed campaign. Despite impressive victories over Manchester City and Liverpool, they have also endured frustrating defeats to relegation-threatened sides. Nevertheless, Palace have a recent edge over West Ham, having won four of the last five encounters between the two teams.
Intriguing Statistics
One intriguing statistic that favors Crystal Palace is their ability to come back from conceding the opening goal in this fixture. In their last four league victories against West Ham, the Eagles have all fallen behind before rallying to secure the win.
Additionally, both teams have scored in 13 of the past 14 meetings between the sides, indicating the potential for an entertaining and high-scoring affair on Saturday.
Vieira's Optimism
Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira is optimistic about his team's chances against West Ham. "We know that West Ham is a good team, but we have the quality to beat them," Vieira said. "We need to be focused and disciplined, and we need to take our chances."
The match will kick off at 14:00 UTC at Selhurst Park. Fans can watch the game live on Sky Sports or follow live updates on the official Premier League website.
