The Hammers haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 18 Premier League home games against fellow London sides (38 goals conceded), since beating Tottenham 1-0 back in October 2021. Graham Potter has a lot to work on at West Ham and he would do well to make defensive solidity top of that list.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice in the second half as Crystal Palace completed a 2-0 Premier League away win at a toothless West Ham United on Saturday, more evidence for new manager Graham Potter of the difficult job at hand in east London.

West Ham United and Crystal Palace both get a chance with a Saturday matchup in London to close the gap with the current top eight sides in the English Premier League.
