Graham Potter will be looking to steer his West Ham United side to back-to-back Premier League wins when they welcome Crystal Palace to the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers secured a much-needed 3-2 home victory over Fulham on Tuesday night, helping them climb up to 13th in the table and 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, sit two points and two places further back in 15th spot, and they extended their unbeaten run in the top flight to four matches courtesy of a 2-0 win at Leicester City on Wednesday.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 69
West Ham wins: 26
Draws: 24
Crystal Palace wins: 19
West Ham United and Crystal Palace have faced each other a total of 69 times across all competitions, with the Hammers leading the head-to-head record having posted 26 wins to the Eagles' 19, while there have also been 24 draws between these two teams.
The first two meetings between these two sides took place back in September 1906 and March 1907 and both ended as 1-1 draws in the Southern League First Division, which they both regularly competed in until the early 1920s.
West Ham enjoyed a dominant period over Crystal Palace in the old Divisions One and Two, winning eight, drawing seven and losing just one of their 16 league meetings between 1922 and 1992.
In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), West Ham and Crystal Palace have butted heads 27 times in the top flight, and there was initially very little to separate the two teams in the early years, as both the Hammers and the Eagles won four games each in their first nine encounters in the division.
West Ham have since won six times compared to Palace's five over the last decade, but all five of the Eagles' wins have come across the last 11 meetings since October 2019, including a memorable 4-3 home triumph in April 2023 and a 5-2 victory at Selhurst Park in April 2024.
The most recent meeting between these teams took place in August 2024, with second-half goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen sealing a 2-0 away victory for West Ham.
