Premier League Best Bets
It was a bit of a surprise to see Slaven Bilic remain in charge at West Ham after their 3-0, so he'll be desperate to see an improvement from his side when they take on relegation rivals Crystal Palace. They won 3-2 at Spurs in midweek of course, but that was a much changed team and he'll be demanding the same level from his Premier League regulars.
West Ham are not a great side this season, and they haven't ever really replaced the talented Dimitri Payet, but in Javier Hernandez they do at least have a man who can find the net now, and that could be critical in deciding the outcome of this match.
Palace look slightly better under Hodgson, but it's hard to ignore the fact that from six away matches this season they have scored just once and conceeded 16.
1pt West Ham to beat Crystal Palace at 23/10 (Bet365)
We'll also try a small bet on Watford to take advantage of a Stoke side who could be getting sucked dangerously close to the trapdoor. They got a nice early win on the cards against Arsenal, but more recent form has seen them beaten by Bournemouth and Newcastle, and they leaked 11 goals against Man City and Chelsea. Heads are sure to be down and Hughes doesn't seem to know where the answers can be found.
Watford are coming along nicely once again this season, and their 4-2 defeat at Chelsea came courtesy of two heartbreaking late goals from the Blues. Prior to that they'd enjoyed wins at Southamton and Swansea, a point from a trip to West Brom, and that excellent come from behind win over Arsenal.
