Stan Collymore predicts outcome of West Ham clash v Crystal Palace
West Ham will take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday (6 November) at the London Stadium.
Ahead of the match, Stan Collymore has predicted a 2-1 win for the home side in the clash of the London derby.
The Hammers have been inconsistent in the league so far, and David Moyes will be hoping to pick up all three points against the Eagles.
Collymore wrote for the Sunday People (page 60): “A war of attrition that will hide the potential of both clubs.”
Get three points
The Hammers must pick up a win here. They are heading into this game on the back of a 3-0 win in the Europa Conference League and should be in high spirits.
It is quite baffling that the Hammers have found it easier to play in Europe than domestic football.
They have struggled in the league so far, and have been really poor away from home. It could be down to their mentality as well, but somewhere it needs to change.
The Hammers must believe they have a strong squad to challenge for European spots.
At the moment, they are counting on their home form, and thus the pundits are backing them to win this one.
Probably we will see the best from West Ham after the World Cup when some of the big-name players will start to make contributions after injuries.
The likes of Nayef Aguerd, Lucas Paqueta and Max Cornet are yet to show their true potential, and Moyes will be counting on them at some stage.
