West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Hammers will look to bolster their current five-point advantage on the Premier League’s relegation zone against the Eagles, dropping to 15th in the table with a 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday night.

As the Irons look to bolster their current Premier League position, where a win would take them up to 12th, Moyes has made two changes to face Palace from the side that lost to Liverpool less than 72 hours ago.

One change cames at left-back as Italian international Emerson is recalled, having recently lost his place in the side to vice-captain Aaron Cresswell.

Pablo Fornals also comes into the side after being left as an unused substitute against Liverpool despite scoring a scorpion kick against Bournemouth three days earlier. Cresswell and Said Benrahma have dropped to the bench.

Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery.
