West Ham united take on Crystal Palace on Saturday with three points a must.
West Ham United’s stars return after the latest international break with an away match against Crystal Palace, and if Hammers boss Slaven Bilic wants a much needed victory there are certain players he has to start.
Here we take a look at three West Ham stars that should feature against the Eagles:
Pedro Obiang
He may have had to wait patiently for his chance to impress but Pedro Obiang did just that against Middlesbrough prior to the international break, putting in a man-of-the-match performance.
The 24-year-old came into a midfield that has woefully underperformed this season, adding some steel and dynamism to their play and ensuring he should be one of the first names on the team sheet this time out.
Aaron Cresswell
How West Ham have missed Aaron Cresswell, who was one of their standout stars last season.
The left-back is now back to full fitness after suffering a knee ligament injury in pre-season and he is needed to both shore up a leaking back-line and also add more quality to the side.
Sofiane Feghouli
While the first two players on this list are predicted to start, it seems less likely that summer signing Sofiane Feghouli will kick off the game even though he should.
The Algeria international has been used sparingly to date as he works his way back to full match fitness. However on recent evidence he is ready and Bilic should play him out wide and push Michail Antonio up front.
