# Predicted XI – 4-3-3: Crystal Palace vs. West Ham

The international break came at a good time for West Ham.

They just came off the schneid last time out against Middlesbrough where a 1-1 draw broke a four-game losing streak in the Premier League and could be the spark of a revival.

Up next for the Hammers this side of the international break is a high-flying Crystal Palace side who are buoyed by the fine form of record signing Christian Benteke who’s found the net on three of his last four Premier League outings.

In each of the last two seasons, Selhurst Park has been a very profitable ground for West Ham who have ran out 3-1 winners in both fixtures and they’ll be hoping for similar success on Saturday.

West Ham are hopeful that they can welcome back Aaron Cresswell to the first-team squad for the first time this season, while Andy Carroll is still not ready for action.

With that in mind, here’s our predicted West Ham XI and bench for the trip to Crystal Palace.
