West Ham vs Crystal Palace, 17.30, Saturday, 5th Oct
After an enthralling draw at the Vitality Stadium. West Ham step back onto home turf to take on a steady but dangerous Crystal Palace sitting one point behind West Ham in the table.
West Ham have a good record against the eagles and will be hoping to extend that record going into the late kick off on Saturday.
With question marks around Fabianski's injury. Roberto may get his first start for the hammers as West Ham look to kick on with their bright start to the season, looking to extend their unbeaten run since the opening days defeat.

We've not lost to Palace since February 2015 when Glenn Murray scored twice and got sent off (Mike Dean was referee so someone had to go).
Palace have collected more yellow cards than anyone other than Arsenal, both on 17, which isn't a surprise as they give away the most fouls per game, average 13.1.
Other than that we are going to stuff them because as per usual I'm working when we're on the telly!
Before the end of September :nonono:
That makes a total of 16 in 39 while at Bournemouth (2.43 games per card)
In three seasons at Levante he accumulated 36 in 93 (2.58)
At Atletico Huila in Colombia it was just 10 in 49 (4.9)
A total of 62 yellows in 181 matches.
BUT. The biggest issue, as others have said, is whether or not Fab will play.
I can't even begin to image how many points he has saved us since he's joined.
Palace will get a penalty, so our defense really needs to do 'on it'.
Our full-backs have a tough task dealing with their wingers and I'm sure they'll cause us a few problems on the counter. Having said that, I think we should beat them 2-1.
Fornals is improving each game so part of me feels we should start him and bring Lanzini into the game but then another part of me feels Lanzini should start as he's currently the better player. Lanzini also seems to do well against Palace.
Freddie - Issa - Oggy - Cressie
Rice - Nobes
Felipe - Manu - Yarmo

As you can see I know them all personally :biggrin:
Martin, Zabba, General, Snoddie, Fornals, Ajeti
2-0 home win.
COYI
Fredericks - Diop - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Rice - Noble
Yarmolenko - Lanzini - Anderson
Haller
Martin, Balbuena, Masuaku, Wilshere, Snodgrass, Fornals, Ajeti
:whistle:

Loss
But Fabs has been maybe the best GK this season so far, so certainly weakens us..
If Fab is 10 how much is Roberto? Whats he weak areas?
:hmm:
They are perfectly set up to be an away side & Zaha always has a game winning performance in him.
