Crystal Palace might be on track to total 51 points, two fewer than the figure they managed last season, but it would still represent their second highest tally since their return to the Premier League in 2013-14.
The Eagles' campaign will ultimately be defined by their success in the Conference League considering they made it into the semi-finals of the competition, with Shakhtar Donetsk standing between them and a first European final.
Oliver Glasner's hosts come into the weekend's clash having lost just once in seven games, a stretch in which the manager oversaw four triumphs.
After playing on Thursday against Fiorentina in the Conference League quarter-final second leg, Palace are sure to rotate heavily at Selhurst Park, with starters like Adam Wharton and Maxence Lacroix set to come out of the XI, especially as both picked up small injury issues.
West Ham have been significantly boosted by Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw with Leeds United on Saturday, as while they are only one point above 18th-placed Spurs, they play their game in hand on Monday against Palace.
The Hammers' form in the top flight has not been outstanding compared to teams competing at the top of the table, but they have only been beaten twice in their past eight league matches, claiming three points three times.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo was not in charge when his current side lost 2-1 against Palace at home in September 2025, but he will still be concerned that his team have lost five, drawn one and won just one of their last seven meetings with Monday's hosts.
Forward Valentin Castellanos scored twice when the club faced Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 10, ending a drought of five games without a goal.

Whispers predicts: Crystal Palace 0-1 West Ham United
The advantage that West Ham have is the fact Palace played a gruelling game on Thursday, so while a prediction of an away victory is priced at 3.1, it could be an inspired bet.
If the visitors are to win, they may be able to get the better of their hosts in the first half given the scoreline in Palace games has rarely been level at the interval, and West Ham to Win the First Half - priced at 3.4 - could be a smart prediction.
Palace will also be encountering a strong defence, so there may be value in predicting Under 0.5 Goals for Crystal Palace at 3.7, especially if they make changes to their usual starting XI.
However, the hosts have also been excellent defensively, and their resilience could make a prediction of Under 1.5 Goals for West Ham United at 1.44 a sensible bet.
> Under 0.5 Goals for Crystal Palace | Likelihood: Possible
> Under 1.5 Goals for West Ham United | Likelihood: Probable
