West Ham lineup vs. Crystal Palace: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

West Ham United will be without at least four players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at the London Stadium.

While Michail Antonio (leg) is a long-term absence, captain Jarrod Bowen (foot), Niclas Fullkrug (hamstring) and Jean-Clair Todibo (unspecified) are also sidelined with injuries.

Crysencio Summerville missed West Ham's 3-2 home win over Fulham on Wednesday due to a thigh problem and the versatile attacker will be assessed ahead of kickoff this weekend.

New head coach Graham Potter opted to name a starting lineup without a natural centre-forward in midweek, with Lucas Paqueta scoring against Fulham while operating as a false nine.

The Brazilian is in contention to retain his central spot, with Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek - who also scored against the Cottagers - and Mohammed Kudus providing support in attack, although Potter may consider handing striker Danny Ings a rare start down the middle.

Potter is unlikely to make too many changes, if any, to the rest of his lineup, with Edson Alvarez and Guido Rodriguez expected to continue in deep-lying midfield roles, allowing Soucek to roam further forward.

Vladimir Coufal will be hoping to force has way into the first XI, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set to keep his place at right-back, joining Max Kilman, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Emerson Palmieri in a four-man defence.

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez, Rodriguez; Kudus, Soucek, Soler; Paqueta
