Relegation bttlers West Ham enjoyed this weekend's events without even kicking a ball, specifically Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Brighton, which saw Spurs stay in the relegation zone. Now, the Hammers have a game in hand on the Londoners and will want to capitalise fully. Encouragingly, they've won five of their last 11 EPL outings.

Key stats & injury news

Adam Wharton and Maxence Lacroix suffered first-half injuries in Thursday's loss to Fiorentina; the former damaged his adductor and the latter hurt his knee. Eddie Nketiah, Cheick Doucoure and Evann Guessand will miss the game.

West Ham have won four of their last seven away games in all competitions, after winning just one of their first 11 in 2025-26.

Jarrod Bowen has found the net in each of his last two league matches against Palace.

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s brace against Newcastle last week took him to 48 Premier League goals in Palace colours - only Wilfried Zaha has reached 50 for the club in the competition.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
