West Ham picked up 23 of their 48 points on the road this season. However, West Ham won just two of their last six road matches.
Palace are eight points above the relegation zone. Coach Oliver Glasner has done well since taking over for Roy Hodgson, but he has had to deal with multiple injury problems.
The Eagles took five points from the last six league matches. They scored just six times and conceded 10 goals to opponents across those six fixtures.
It is a myth that Selhurst Park is a difficult stadium for opposing teams to play at. Why? They won just four of their previous 15 matches at the stadium. Palace have a -3-goal difference playing at Selhurst Park.
West Ham won on two of their last three trips to Selhurst Park against Palace. However, Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last three matches versus West Ham.

Palace are led in goals by the trio of Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eberechi Eze, and Edouard with seven goals apiece. Eze bagged the winner versus Liverpool a week ago.
