Haaland: If I go down like everyone else, Gabriel gets a red card
Haaland says Gabriel should have been sent off for headbutt in City's win over Arsenal.
West Ham United faces Crystal Palace tonight at Selhurst Park, aiming to secure their Premier League status. After a strong 4-0 victory over Wolves, they are two points above the relegation zone with six matches left.
West Ham XI vs Crystal Palace – Predicted lineup and team news
West Ham United travel to Selhurst Park tonight knowing their Premier League fate is in their hands.
The Hammers delivered a season-defining performance last week, thrashing Wolves 4-0 at home to lift Nuno Espírito Santo’s side out of the bottom three at Tottenham’s expense. They now sit two points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining, and a positive result tonight would extend their most impressive run of form this season.
West Ham have also shown significant improvement on the road in recent months. They have secured four victories from their last seven away games in all competitions — a stark contrast to a dismal start that yielded just one win from their first 11 road trips. Encouragingly, the Hammers have scored at least twice in five consecutive away visits to Selhurst Park.
Nuno enjoys the rare luxury of a fully fit squad for this evening’s derby. He confirmed on Friday that “all the boys are okay” following recent exertions, and is expected to name an unchanged side from the victory over Wolves.
Jarrod Bowen remains the primary attacking threat for the visitors. Only Bruno Fernandes has recorded more Premier League assists than the winger during 2026, and he has also scored in each of his last two league matches against Palace. Alongside him, Crysencio Summerville is now fully fit and will likely start on the opposite flank.

One player who has emerged as a surprise weapon in recent weeks is Konstantinos Mavropanos. The Greek defender has scored three goals in his last three appearances from corners — remarkable given that he had managed just once in his previous 81 Premier League matches. West Ham will look to exploit Palace’s league-worst record for defending set-pieces.
Mads Hermansen will continue in goal behind a defensive line featuring Axel Disasi. At right-back, Kyle Walker-Peters has emerged as the preferred choice, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka likely to settle for a place on the bench. A win tonight would mark a significant step toward securing another season of top-flight football.
West Ham United Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf; Bowen, Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville; Pablo; Castellanos
