Crystal Palace preview: Unbeaten in last six in all comps
The Eagles made the short trip to the London Stadium last weekend where they went in at the break against the Hammers goalless.
However, top scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta fired the visitors in front in the 48t minute and not long after West Ham had a man sent off, the French striker converted a late spot-kick to wrap up a 2-0 victory.
Matheus Franca, Adam Wharton, Jefferson Lerma and Rob Holding are expected to miss out this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Henderson (GK), Guehi, Munoz, Lacroix, Mitchell, Richards, Hughes, Kamada, Eze, Mateta & Sarr

Brentford preview: Four points from last two away trips
Brentford put in a brave performance at home to the league leaders Liverpool last weekend but ended up slipping to a heartbreaking defeat.
The two sides entered the 90th minute goalless and just when it looked like Brentford might earn a decent point in front of their own fans, Darwin Nunez scored twice to win the game for Liverpool 2-0.
Joshua Dasilva, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Ryan Trevitt, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes look set to miss the trip to Selhurst Park through injury.
Predicted lineup: Flekken (GK), Roerslev, Collins, van den Berg, Norgaard, Wissa, Janelt, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Yarmoliuk & Lewis-Potter

Player to watch – Bryan Mbeumo
Bryan Mbeumo is Brentford's main dangerman and we're backing the Cameroon international to put in another good performance for his team this weekend.
Mbeumo leads the way for Brentford this season with 13 Premier League goals and he has also chipped in with three assists. Seven of those goals have arrived the first in games, so don't be surprised if Brentford take the lead on Sunday.
Will Brentford's danger man strike again?
The Bees haven't travelled well this season but have managed to pick up four points from their last two away trips, so things are improving for Thomas Frank's side.
