West Ham preview: First win for Potter

West Ham may have clinched all three points at home against Fulham in midweek but they needed a lot of luck in order to do so.

Graham Potter's side could easily have lost this match if it hadn't been for Bernd Leno in the Fulham goal who made two huge errors that led to goals for West Ham. Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta scored the Hammers' three goals in a 3-2 win over the Cottagers.

Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville, Jean-Clair Todibo and Niclas Fullkrug are all expected to miss out this weekend through injury.

Predicted lineup: Fabianski (GK), Emerson, Mavropanos, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Soucek, Rodríguez, Soler, Paqueta, Alvarez & Kudus

Crystal Palace preview: Unbeaten in last five

Crystal Palace continued their unbeaten run in midweek when they made the trip to The King Power Stadium to face Leicester.

The pair played out a goalless first half but the Eagles managed to break the deadlock in the 52nd minute through Jean-Philippe Mateta and went on to secure all three points 12 minutes from time when Marc Guehi added a second.

The Eagles could be without the services of Matheus Franca, Adam Wharton and Rob Holding on Saturday due to injury.

Predicted lineup: Henderson (GK), Guehi, Munoz, Lacroix, Mitchell, Richards, Hughes, Doucoure, Eze, Mateta & Sarr

Player to watch – Ismaila Sarr

Ismaila Sarr put in another strong performance for Crystal Palace in midweek and looks to be playing his best football since joining the club in the summer.

Sarr has scored four times in 21 Premier League appearances this season as well as chipping in with three assists. The Senegalese international has developed a good partnership with striker Mateta and as a result, Crystal Palace has started to find their form again.

Will the Eagles winger terrorise the Hammer's defence?

We're expecting Sarr to put in another good performance on Saturday against a West Ham defence that continues to leak goals.
