West Ham XI vs Crystal Palace: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Hammers looking for first competitive win under Julen Lopetegui

Julen Lopetegui gave little away when discussing team news ahead of West Ham’s trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Hammers fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa in their season opener, having seen many of their new summer signings start on the bench.

While the Irons boss revealed his side had suffered a “little problem” in training, Lopetegui refused to be drawn on what the issue had been.

Lopetegui also revealed midfielder Edson Alvarez is progressing well in his return from a hamstring injury but stopped short of suggesting he could return for the trip to Selhurst Park.

“He has been out for a while, and he is progressing well, but let's see,” said the Hammers boss.

West Ham predicted XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Emerson; Soucek, Rodriguez; Kudus, Paqueta; Summerville, Fulkrug

Doubts: Alvarez

Time and date: 3pm BST on Saturday 24 August, 2024
