They're in cracking form. Bowen's danger man. I'd go 2-2. Such a joke that a team can have an extra 2 days' rest. How can it not impact the result? I'd be bringing in Jairo for McArthur and perhaps Townsend for Schlupp. No other changes...but make subs early. If we lost against Spurs then the Two days gap would've been damaging, but we had a good result and performance so that will actually give us the advantage of being fresh in memory, I feel players are fit and able and the only problem with playing games so soon is niggles needing time to recover but we should have enough for a draw again so I agree 2-2, west Ham are confident.

Two days extra rest is a massive advantage.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

See that's where I'm not sure I agree. It's not like we've got a bunch of 20 somethings running around. With most of the team in and around 30...legs just don't quite recover the same. I think we'll notice it around the 70 min mark. Although I do agree with your fresh in memory point.

We’ve had a couple of days less rest than them, but we’re playing well so a 2-1 win for Palace. And presumably none of their horrid fans can go. I’m nearly sure their fans can still go as rules don’t change till Wednesday midnight.

I just don't agree, Footballers need 72 hours rest we will have had about 75, West Ham will have absolutely no advantage at all and if anything we will have the advantage because our players will want to prove themselves after dropping those silly points against Burnley and Newcastle.

Surely it's not a subjective thing though? There must be science or some sort of evidence to suggest it does or doesn't have an impact. General common sense tells me it would do...but definitely happy to be proved wrong by a medical professional of some sort.
