Guido Rodriguez axed in two changes – West Ham predicted XI v Crystal Palace
Guido Rodriguez could be axed from the West Ham starting XI against Crystal Palace in two changes from Graham Potter.
The Hammers boss could also drop Emerson for the clash on Saturday (18 January) with Oliver Scarles potentially in line to make a Premier League start.
The 18-year-old could come into the side alongside Danny Ings who could replace the World Cup winner in the side, which could see Tomas Soucek drop into a deeper role.
This change upfront could add a focal point to the Irons at the London Stadium as Potter looks to make it two league wins from two since taking over from Julen Lopetegui.
Guido Rodriguez could be axed for West Ham v Crystal Palace
Despite conceding two against Fulham, the new Irons head coach is likely to show faith in a very similar backline in East London.
This could see Lucasz Fabianski, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Max Kilman maintain their places in the side against the Eagles.
Scarles could come in once again to prove his talents after a positive performance against Aston Villa last week.
The midfield could have a different look with Rodriguez potentially dropping out which could see Edson Alvarez and Soucek play behind Lucas Paqueta in the number ten role.
Out wide, Mohammed Kudus and Carlos Soler could start again with the latter netting his first Hammers goal with a superb first-time finish last time out.
Ings could come in from the start at the London Stadium in a move to add more of an attacking force for the East London side.
Against Fulham, there was little pressure on the away side’s back line which cannot continue against Palace and could be fixed by starting the ex-England international.
