Crystal Palace will hope to bounce back from their late defeat at Newcastle when they welcome West Ham to Selhurst Park today.
The injury-hit Eagles were within minutes of extending their unbeaten run to five games at St James's Park on Saturday, before a rare Miguel Almirón strike made sure the points remained on Tyneside.
Manuel Pellegrini's side, who were beaten by a late Jordan Ayew goal in east London earlier this season, must avoid defeat to stop Palace securing their first League double over the Hammers since 2013-14.
West Ham were due to play Liverpool last week, but the Premier League leaders' participation in the Club World Cup finals in Doha handed the Hammers a much-needed break.
They will aim to kick on following a gritty win at Southampton last time out which eased the pressure on beleaguered boss Pellegrini.
The game is on Boxing Day with kick-off at 3pm GMT.
Team news and lineups
Crystal Palace: Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson welcomes back Victor Camarasa and Mamadou Sakho for the visit of West Ham but still has a host of injury problems to contend with.
Hodgson was without seven players for the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle, including Camarasa (illness) and Sakho, whose three-match ban has ended in time for the Hammers clash.
However, many of the absent players are expected to remain sidelined, including Joel Ward, Gary Cahill, Jeffrey Schlupp, Scott Dann and Andros Townsend.
West Ham: West Ham goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianski and David Martin are both battling muscle injuries ahead of the short trip to Selhurst Park.
Ryan Fredericks is suspended and Jack Wilshere and Winston Reid are injured.
Manuel Lanzini is back in training after a shoulder injury and Felipe Anderson has recovered from illness.
How we think the sides could line up…
Crystal Palace: Guaita; Kelly, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic, Kouyate, McArthur; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew
West Ham: Fabianski; Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Anderson, Noble, Rice, Fornals; Antonio, Haller
