Seven changes, Antonio starts – Confirmed West Ham starting XI v Crystal Palace
West Ham United have made seven changes to their starting XI for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
David Moyes has reverted to his usual Premier League side, with only four players keeping their spot from the Doncaster clash.
Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, Lukasz Fabianski, Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma and Tomas Soucek have kept their positions.
The FA Cup tie with Doncaster handed Moyes the perfect opportunity to rest some of his key players after the busy New Year period.
Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell, Declan Rice and Michail Antonio were all missing from that 4-0 win, and they should all be raring to go.
Things couldn’t be better right now for the Hammers.
With no real issues facing them on the injury front, they are in the perfect position to pick up their sixth win on the bounce at Selhurst Park.
Three points would slingshot the Hammers into the Champions League spots at the end of play this evening.
Everton, Spurs and Liverpool are yet to play, but with the latter two facing each other, the Hammers should be closer to one of those before this weekend.
Moyes has got the squad playing some beautiful football recently, and moving into the top four will be exactly what they deserve.
