West Ham could pile more pressure on Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson today.
Back-to-back defeats against relegation-threatened Everton and Luton have opened up questions over Hodgson's future at Selhurst Park with his side hoping Michael Olise's return can end their long struggle for goals.
Up next is a West Ham side that has also underwhelmed of late but can thank Tomas Soucek for late winners against Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Backa Topola.
A four-game winning run has sent David Moyes' team into the Europa League knockouts and the top half of the Premier League.
With a formidable Christmas period coming up, West Ham will feel they have to capitalise on any momentum - and their opponents' lack of - to bank points while they can.
