Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace travel across London on Saturday as one of the Premier League’s three remaining unbeaten teams.
Their impressive early-season form has been built on a rock-solid defensive foundation. This organisation and resilience have made them incredibly difficult to beat, both at home and on the road.
The London Stadium, in particular, has become a happy hunting ground for the Eagles. They are currently unbeaten in their last six visits to face West Ham. They will be confident of extending that excellent run against a struggling Hammers side as they look to turn their defensive stability into more victories.

Oliver Glasner is still managing several fitness concerns, with attackers Ismaïla Sarr and Eddie Nketiah remaining doubtful for the trip to East London.
Midfielder Adam Wharton also faces a late fitness test to determine his availability. The manager is, however, expected to recall key players to the starting XI after resting them for the midweek cup tie.
Jean-Philippe Mateta will be the main threat up front. He has an outstanding personal record against the Hammers, having scored each of Crystal Palace’s last four league goals in this fixture.
