Monday Night Football in the Premier League is a London derby which sees an in-form Crystal Palace side taking on a battling West Ham at Selhurst Park.
Oliver Glasner and his Palace side were beaten 2-1 by Fiorentina in the second-leg of their Conference League semi-final but still went through with a 4-3 aggregate victory.
West Ham’s bid to avoid relegation was boosted by a 4-0 hammering of Wolves last week — a brace apiece from Konstantinos Mavropanos and Taty Castellanos keeps them out of the relegation zone after Spurs conceded late against Brighton on Saturday. Wins for Nottingham Forest and Leeds over the weekend means they will stay 17th whatever happens tonight.

Crystal Palace vs. West Ham United Prediction: Who Will Win?
We are picking West Ham to get a crucial victory on Monday.
Crystal Palace have been in excellent form of late, with a much-improved run of form in the league seeing them establish themselves in mid-table quite comfortably.
It won’t be easy to get past the Eagles but Glasner’s side have struggled throughout the season in games immediately after playing in Europe.
Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-1 West Ham (11/1 with Bet365)

Our favourite betting angle for Crystal Palace vs. West Ham is Jarrod Bowen to score the only goal of the game. Fighting for a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s squad at the World Cup this summer, the England international can exploit a potentially tired Palace back-line.
