Two teams seeking to bounce back from defeats on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon as Crystal Palace play host to West Ham United.
Crystal Palace:
Crystal Palace will look to rebound from a 2-1 defeat to Brentford when they host West Ham United at Selhurst Park. Despite a dominant first half, a controversial decision by referee Sam Barrott, who admitted to an error in disallowing a goal by Eberechi Eze, overshadowed their performance. Palace managed to equalize through an own goal by Ethan Pinnock, but Yoane Wissa’s 76th-minute winner sealed the points for Brentford. The Eagles had a strong end to last season at home, winning their final four matches by a combined score of 16-2. They will be hoping to replicate that form against West Ham, having won their last two home encounters with the Hammers, including a 5-2 victory in April.
West Ham United:
West Ham began their campaign with a 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa. Despite an equalizer from Lucas Paqueta and a promising performance from the new signings, Jhon Duran’s late goal proved decisive for Villa. New manager Julen Lopetegui has been tasked with integrating eight new signings into his squad, with mixed results so far. West Ham’s recent record against London rivals has been poor, with three consecutive losses in derbies, including their last two against Palace and Chelsea. Lopetegui’s side will need to improve to avoid extending this run and to find their footing in the early stages of the season.
