STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Mon: Crystal Palace v West Ham

West Ham have the opportunity to take a huge step closer to Premier League survival when they travel to Selhurst Park on Monday face off with Crystal Palace, writes JOE CITRONE.

Crystal Palace have put any lingering relegation fears firmly behind them and are now eyeing a possible push for Europe.

Victory on Monday night would move them to within three points of sixth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League, with a game still in hand – keeping their continental hopes very much alive.

West Ham, meanwhile, will be desperate for a result to boost their survival bid – while also dealing a significant blow to Spurs’ ambitions of remaining in the Premier League.

In their last outing, the Hammers climbed out of the bottom three with a convincing win over Wolves – who could themselves be relegated on Monday if this result goes against them.

Crystal Palace are the better of these two sides, they’ve proven that over the season, but with what’s at stake for West Ham, and the fact Palace probably have one eye on the Conference League, I think an away win is value here at 7/4 with starsports.bet.
