Ending last season with six thumping wins from seven has raised expectations considerably, but a losing start and the uncertainty over Marc Guehi have compounded the departures of Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen, and brought the Eagles back down to Earth with a bump.
They looked distinctly leggy throughout their 2-1 defeat against Brentford last weekend, and Eberechi Eze's eagerness to fill the Olise-shaped hole means he often held onto the ball instead of playing in Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
There were teething problems for West Ham too, as the Julen Lopetegui era finally got off the ground. They struggled to create anything of note in going 2-1 down to Aston Villa, though the Spaniard has numerous mercurial talents at his disposal, most notably Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta. It was surprising to see Niclas Fullkrug have to settle for a place on the bench, and Michail Antonio did little to strengthen his starting credentials.
Line-ups:
Crystal Palace team: Henderson, Richards, Riad, Guehi, Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell, Edouard, Eze, Mateta
West Ham team: Areola, Coufal, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson, Rodriguez, Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus, Antonio

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Crystal Palace vs West Ham live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 6,000 servers, across 110+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that's showing Crystal Palace vs West Ham and watch the game.

Can you watch Crystal Palace vs West Ham in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, there will be no Crystal Palace vs West Ham live stream in the U.K.. That's because broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs, to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.
Americans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.
As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K., between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 games, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
