West Ham are proving that last season's top six finish was no fluke. Having thrashed Newcastle United and Leicester City in their first two fixture of the season, the Hammers will be feeling extremely confident of a victory at home to Palace.
Striker Michail Antonio has already notched three goals this season, and is now West Ham's overall top goalscorer in the EPL after a brace against Leicester on Monday night. He'll be hungry to add to that tally. Said Benrahma has also scored in both of the Hammers' games this season, so will be another dangerous option that Palace will need to deal with.
The Eagles are currently in something of a transition phase. The jury is still out on new manager Patrick Vieira and the host of summer signings are still bedding into the club. The opening day defeat to Chelsea was expected, but a 0-0 draw with newly promoted Brentford and a Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Watford will have fans feeling a little nervous.
It may still be too early for things to have quite clicked yet, but at the very least Crystal Palace need to score their first goal of the season against West Ham, after drawing a blank in all competitions so far. A home victory seems rather unlikely, as West Ham's attack looks unstoppable and will surely overwhelm Palace.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
