Crystal Palace XI vs West Ham: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League clash

If Wilfried Zaha is the star of the show at Crystal Palace, Luka Milivojevic is the conductor, the man who holds the side together and the player Roy Hodgson must try to replace against West Ham this weekend.

The Palace captain has not missed a single minute of Premier League football since mid-December 2017, but a fifth booking of the season picked up against Norwich last weekend means the Serbian is suspended for the trip across London tomorrow.

Milivojevic has finished the last two seasons at top scorer thanks to his proficiency from the penalty spot and he opened his account for the campaign against the Canaries last time out.

James McArthur is perhaps Hodgson's most dependable midfielder after his captain, though Cheikhou Kouyate, facing his former club, is likely to drop to the base of midfield.

James Tomkins, who was only fit enough for the bench last weekend, could make his first start of the season with Mamadou Sakho still battling injury.

Crystal Palace predicted lineup (4-3-3): Guaita, Ward, Cahill, Tomkins, Van Aanholt, Kouyate, McArthur, Schlupp, Townsend, Zaha, Ayew
