Fresh off their historic victory at Anfield, Crystal Palace will welcome West Ham United to Selhurst Park in a thrilling Premier League match this Sunday. Having ended Liverpool's impressive 18-month home unbeaten streak with a 1-0 win, the Eagles are soaring with confidence. Meanwhile, West Ham, having just been edged out of the Europa League by Bayer Leverkusen, are desperate to reassert themselves in their quest for European qualification.

Match Preview: Crystal Palace

Despite their previous struggles, which included consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Bournemouth, Crystal Palace pulled off a stunning upset against Liverpool, thanks to Eberechi Eze's decisive early goal. This victory not only boosted their survival hopes but also marked their first away win since November, pushing them eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Now ranked 14th, Palace are still not entirely safe from the drop but have a more comfortable cushion. Manager Oliver Glasner will be keen to build on their momentum, especially as the Eagles have yet to secure back-to-back league wins this season — something they last achieved under Roy Hodgson a year ago.

Offensively, Palace have found a consistent rhythm at home, scoring in 10 of their last 11 Premier League matches at Selhurst Park. Their recent form on familiar turf has been solid, collecting 11 points from the last seven home fixtures. This goal-scoring consistency will be vital as they face a West Ham side looking to bounce back from their own setbacks.

Match Preview: West Ham United

West Ham's recent performances have been a mixed bag. In the Premier League, they suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to Fulham at the London Stadium — a game where goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski played a key role in preventing a more severe defeat. The Irons then shifted their focus to the Europa League, where they were tasked with overturning a 2-0 deficit against Leverkusen. An early goal from Michail Antonio gave them hope, but they couldn't find the crucial second goal, ultimately exiting the competition.

With Europe now out of the picture, David Moyes's squad must channel all their efforts into securing a top-seven finish in the league to ensure another season of European football. Currently sitting eighth, the Hammers have endured a tough run, winning just once in their last six league outings. The road doesn't get any easier, with fixtures against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City looming in their final five matches.

However, there's a glimmer of hope in their away form, having scored eight goals in their last three league matches on the road. This prowess will be crucial as they try to end a three-game winless streak against Crystal Palace, including a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium in December and a dramatic 4-3 loss at Selhurst Park last year.

Key Players and Tactics

For Crystal Palace, the spotlight will once again be on Eberechi Eze, whose agility and knack for crucial goals will be key to unlocking the West Ham defense. The Eagles might rely on their counter-attacking prowess, exploiting the spaces left by a West Ham side that could be pushing forward in search of goals.

West Ham will look towards Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen to provide the attacking threat. Antonio's physical presence and Bowen's pace could be pivotal, especially in a game where creating and converting clear-cut chances will be essential for reviving their European hopes.

This matchup at Selhurst Park sets the stage for a fiercely contested London derby, with both teams having much to play for. Crystal Palace aims to confirm their Premier League survival with another notable victory, while West Ham fights to keep their European dreams alive. Fans can expect a tightly contested affair, with both sides desperate for the points as the season approaches its climax.

This Sunday's clash between Crystal Palace and West Ham promises not only crucial league points but also the intense rivalry and drama that only a London derby can provide. Tune in to see which team will rise to the occasion and take a significant step toward their respective goals.
