West Ham United take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League this evening.
West Ham United are back in Premier League action this evening as they look to bounce back from their surprise FA Cup exit at the hands of Wigan Athletic.
After losing to the League One side, West Ham are attempting to recover tonight, and have been in strong Premier League form with just one defeat in the last nine games.
Adrian keeps his place in goal ahead of Joe Hart, whilst Pablo Zabaleta, James Collins, Angelo Ogbonna, Declan Rice and Aaron Cresswell seemingly make up a back five.
Sam Byram could be pushed into midfield alongside Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyate and new signing Joao Mario, who makes his first league start for the club, supporting lone striker Javier Hernandez.
Domingos Quina is named on the bench, alongside Hart, Jose Fonte, Josh Cullen, Reece Oxford, Sead Haksabanovic and Antonio Martinez.
Meanwhile, Palace are back in action for the first time in 10 days, having lost 4-1 to Arsenal last time out in a dismal defeat.
Tonight, manager Roy Hodgson looks to get his side back on track, and goes with a back four of Timothy Fosu-Mensah, James Tomkins, Martin Kelly and Patrick van Aanholt in front of goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
Luka Milivojevic is joined by James McArthur in midfield, whilst Bakary Sako, Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend will support Christian Benteke in attack.
Mamadou Sakho is only ready for the bench, and is joined by fellow substitutes Julian Speroni, Jairo Riedewald, Yohan Cabaye, Lee Chung-yong, Pape Souare and Joel Ward.
