Hammers looking to build on Graham Potter’s first win in charge
West Ham host Crystal Palace in a Premier League London derby this weekend.

Another home game offers the chance to build on that, albeit they are playing an improving Palace side.
Oliver Glasner’s side beat Leicester 2-0 on Wednesday night to extend their unbeaten run to four games.
