Coufal’s huge challenge
The Hammers right back has the unenviable job of trying to keep Wilfried Zaha in check as the Hammers look to follow up on the win over Leeds.
Coufal faced his first setback since arriving at the Hammers when subbed for Ben Johnson after being given a torrid time by Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford who was probably instrumental in giving the visitors their London Stadium win despite that controversial goal.
Now, within three games, he will again face a huge challenge as Zaha looks to torment the Irons in a game that can take out points tally to 23 as we keep out eyes on the top six.
The Czech will be looking to demonstrate that he can truly cope with that type of individual and the face-off could be the key to a match we are hoping will see us go well over the halfway mark to the usual 38 points safety target.
Palace are no mugs off their own manor and this season have accounted for Manchester United, Fulham, Newcastle and West Brom on the road.
