Crystal Palace could be without up to four key players for the Premier League clash at West Ham United this Sunday.
The Eagles head to the London Stadium on the back of a 1-0 win against Southampton at Selhurst Park at the weekend. Claiming all three points against Saints saw Patrick Vieira’s men climb into the top half of the table, with Palace currently 10th on 16 points.
Palace’s win alongside draws for Brentford and Everton saw the Hammers drop from 10th to 13th in the Premier League table. However, only two points separate West Ham from Sunday’s opponents.

Odsonne Edouard scored the winning goal for the Eagles against Southampton but the Frenchman could be absent against West Ham. The striker was forced off 15 minutes from the end last Saturday after picking up a knock.
Summer signing Cheick Doucoure missed the Southampton fixture due to injury but could return against the Hammers. After Palace’s win, Vieira said: “He’s feeling little injuries. He tried to train, but the best decision was to not to get him involved for the [Southampton] game.”
Chris Richards, another Palace summer signing, has been unavailable since the September international break due to a thigh injury. James McArthur is yet to feature this season due to a recurring groin injury.
