West Ham have received a huge double boost for Crystal Palace and David Moyes is hoping for one more too.

West Ham have run into their first real team selection problems of the season since the November international break.

The likes of Michail Antonio, top scorer Jarrod Bowen, star boy Mohammed Kudus, midfield general Edson Alvarez, right-back Vladimir Coufal and Nayef Aguerd have been suffering with injuries or illness.

And it looked like West Ham could be dealt huge triple blow for Crystal Palace as illness swept the camp when an insider delivered an update this weekend.

Kudus, Alvarez and Coufal all missed the game in Serbia with illness.

And there were fears they would not be available for the Eagles either.

But West Ham have received a huge double boost for Crystal Palace and David Moyes is hoping for one more too.

Because Kudus and Alvarez look set to be available after illness. And West Ham are also hoping Bowen – as reported yesterday – will be able to feature as well.

That’s according to the latest from our source inside the club, news also being reported by The West Ham Way.

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.

On the face of it, West Ham look to be playing Palace at the perfect time.

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.

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

The game kicks off at 2pm on Sunday and is live on Sky Sports with coverage starting from 1pm.
