Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches against West Ham United (W2 D2), their longest unbeaten streak against the Hammers in the competition.

Palace’s Jordan Ayew has scored four Premier League goals versus West Ham, all on different grounds: Villa Park with Aston Villa, Liberty Stadium with Swansea City, plus London Stadium and Selhurst Park, both with Palace.

West Ham manager David Moyes has won all four of his away league encounters with Palace, triumphing with four different teams: Preston (2001), Everton (2004), Manchester United (2014) and Sunderland (2017). 

Michail Antonio has scored the winning goal in West Ham’s last two Premier League victories. The last player to score the winner in three consecutive top-flight matches for the Hammers was Bobby Zamora, doing so in April 2007 against Blackburn Rovers, Middlesbrough and Arsenal.
