Crystal Palace website have just dropped a huge hint regarding an injury boost for their clash with West Ham on Sunday.

The Hammers play host to Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium.

It’s a huge game for both sides, and West Ham have the chance to leapfrog Palace in the Premier League table with a win.

It seemed as though the Hammers might have a big advantage over the Eagles, with rumours circulating that the visitors could be without four key players on Sunday, including Odsonne Edouard.

Having Edouard unavailable for the game would have been a massive blow for Patrick Vieira.

It seems as though the striker may well be ready to start for Palace against West Ham though…

The Eagles should have Odsonne Edouard available for the game at the London Stadium this weekend.

The 24-year-old is a key player for Palace, and it seems as though he’ll be leading the line on Sunday.

Crystal Palace’s official website has highlighted the Frenchman’s goalscoring record against London clubs, and states that ‘he will look to make his mark on yet another London derby’.

However, our task of doing that will be made a lot harder if Odsonne Edouard plays.

The ex-Celtic man is strong with his back to goal but is also a threat in behind, and he leads the line exceptionally well for Palace.

The Hammers defenders will have to be on top form on Sunday, if we are to leave the game with maximum points.

And if the Crystal Palace website is to be believed, they will be hugely buoyed by the Edouard injury boost ahead of the West Ham clash.
