Crystal Palace’s Premier League season continues against West Ham at Selhurst Park on Saturday; with this a traditional 3pm kick-off.
A 3pm kick-off, on a Saturday, will always be welcomed and this is what Palace have as Alan Pardew looks for a positive start to the return to action after the international break against his former side.

Crystal Palace Team News:
Pardew’s got Damien Delaney, Mile Jedinak, Jordon Mutch and Lee Chung-yong all back from injury, so the break served it’s purpose.
Connor Wickham, Marouane Chamakh, who has struggled for an age it seems with fitness issues, and defender Joel Ward are still missing though.
Player to watch: Wilfried Zaha
West Ham Team News:
West Ham’s Andy Carroll (ankle) is back with Angelo Ogbonna (hamstring) also fit as well, there are doubts over Aaron Cresswell and Winston Reid but they should be fit.
Enner Valencia (knee) is still out.
Player to watch: Dimitri Payet
