Exclusive: Frank McAvennie predicts West Ham clash v Crystal Palace
We’re delighted to welcome former West Ham United striker Frank McAvennie as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at the London Stadium…
Frank McAvennie has backed West Ham United to beat Crystal Palace in their upcoming Premier League clash.
The Irons travel to Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening looking to continue their unbeaten streak in all competitions.
McAvennie has predicted a slender victory, with the Hammers backed to leave their London rivals with a 1-0 scoreline.
Speaking to West Ham Zone, McAvennie said, “West Ham are doing well.
“I cannot see Palace winning it, the way they’re playing because the defence has been really good. I would say 1-0 to West Ham.”
Moyes will be determined to continue this brilliant run in the Premier League.
The Hammers are only two points behind Liverpool in the Champions League spots and will jump ahead of them with a victory against their London rivals.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have won once in their previous nine outings and that was against Sheffield United.
Roy Hodgson will be determined for his side to bounce back, but after their 4-0 thrashing against Manchester City, they could be there for the taking.
European football has become a realistic goal at the London Stadium, but if it is to happen, we have to win these games.
