Npower Championship
Venue: Selhurst Park
Nathaniel Clyne could finally return to the Palace squad following the broken foot he suffered during pre-season.
The Eagles are still without left-back Lee Hills (knee) and midfield duo Kagisho Dikgacoi (hamstring) and Owen Garvan (hip).
West Ham have Frederic Piquionne back after suspension but must assess Joey O'Brien, Matt Taylor and Winston Reid.
O'Brien has a hamstring problem and Taylor a calf injury, while centre-back Reid has been struggling with a knock.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• West Ham boast a 50% winning record in competitive meetings
with Crystal Palace (13 of 26). Palace have won four, with nine drawn.
• The pair have not played each other since Palace's 1-0
victory at the Millennium Stadium in May 2004, which gained them
promotion to the Premier League.
• West Ham have only been beaten twice in a league game on Crystal Palace turf in May 1995, and April 2004.
Crystal Palace
• Crystal Palace came from behind with three late goals to
beat Brighton 3-1 on Tuesday, and thus ended a three match losing
sequence in the Championship.
• Six of the Eagles' 10 league goals have been scored in the last 12 minutes.
• Dougie Freedman is the second youngest manager in the Championship.
West Ham United
• West Ham lost for the first time since the opening day, when they were beaten by Ipswich on Tuesday.
• Unbeaten away from home, victory will equal the Hammers'
total of points on the road last season (13), and give them their best
start to a league season in eight years.
• Sam Allardyce is the second oldest manager in the Championship.
