David Moyes looks set to make seven West Ham changes for Crystal Palace as quartet return after injury and illness.

That’s how we see West Ham lining up when they welcome Crystal Palace to the London Stadium for Sunday’s 2pm kick-off.

A third consecutive Premier League win for West Ham could lift the club up to eighth and just three points off Newcastle in fifth – a Champions League place this season.

Word from inside the club is that star boy Mohammed Kudus and El Machin Edson Alvarez are both available after missing the Europa League clash in midweek through illness.

Predicted: Moyes makes seven changes for Palace

Hopes have also been high that Jarrod Bowen will be fit to return too after his knee injury on England duty.

We predict David Moyes makes seven West Ham changes for Crystal Palace as quartet return after injury and illness.

There look set to be four changes in defence as Alphonse Areola, Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma and Emerson come back into the starting XI.

Alvarez, Kudus and Bowen will then replace Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals and Divin Mubama.

Predicted West Ham starting XI to face Palace:

Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Alvarez, Paqueta, Kudus, Bowen.

Should Coufal not be deemed well enough to play, expect Ben Johnson or Thilo Kehrer to deputise.

There has been no indication as to whether Coufal has recovered from illness so it could be that Thilo Kehrer or Ben Johnson deputises at right-back.

West Ham’s hopes of making it three Premier League wins on the bounce were boosted by news from Palace this week that star player and former Moyes target Eberechi Eze is out with an ankle injury.

And Roy Hodgson’s key midfielder Cheick Doucoure is also out as fears grow he could miss the rest of the season with an Achilles injury after being stretchered off in the defeat to Luton last time out.
