West Ham Starting XI vs Crystal Palace: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

West Ham Predicted Lineup Shapes Crucial Palace Clash

West Ham United approach tonight’s London derby with clarity of purpose, their Premier League future still within their own control. A 4-0 victory over Wolves last week did more than lift spirits, it reset the narrative around a side that had spent much of the season navigating uncertainty.

Now, with six games remaining and a narrow cushion above the relegation zone, the emphasis shifts to consistency. The trip to Selhurst Park offers both opportunity and risk, a familiar combination in this phase of the campaign.

Improved Away Form Builds Confidence

Recent months have brought a notable shift in West Ham’s away performances. Four wins from their last seven on the road suggests a growing resilience, particularly when contrasted with earlier struggles that yielded just one victory from 11 trips.

There is also a statistical quirk that may provide encouragement. West Ham have scored at least twice in each of their last five away visits to Selhurst Park, a pattern that hints at a level of comfort in this fixture despite the broader pressures at play.

Team News Offers Rare Stability

For once, selection concerns appear minimal. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo confirmed that “all the boys are okay”, a phrase that carries weight given the physical demands of recent weeks. An unchanged lineup from the Wolves win looks likely, reinforcing a sense of continuity.
