Remarkable Tomas Soucek stat suggests West Ham midfielder will decide Crystal Palace clash

Tomas Soucek could be key to West Ham earning an invaluable three points against Crystal Palace on Monday night.

He has been an integral part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lately, forming a strong partnership with Mateus Fernandes.

However, it is not Soucek’s recent form but his record against Palace that bodes well for the Hammers at Selhurst Park.

West Ham’s Tomas Soucek boasts amazing goal record at Selhurst Park

The good news for West Ham is that Selhurst Park might be Tomas Soucek’s favourite stadium in the Premier League.

The midfielder has played five away games against Palace, contributing four goals and an assist, with three victories.

This includes a clinical left-footed finish from the edge of the box in a 2-0 West Ham win in August 2024.

Soucek’s goal record at Selhurst Park is better than at any other stadium in England during his time in East London.

This should give Hammers fans confidence ahead of their crucial game against Palace amid the Premier League relegation battle.

Monday’s match is particularly vital, as a victory would give Nuno’s side a four-point lead over Tottenham with just five games left.

West Ham have been handed a significant advantage, with Palace having just three days off after their Conference League quarter-final.

So, all the signs are pointing towards the Hammers taking one step closer to survival, but will they deliver the goods?

The Hammers have a few potential match-winners, including Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville, but all eyes will be on Soucek now.
