Impact Johnstone and Palace struggled heavily with set pieces on Saturday as Tomas Soucek, Michail Antonio and Nayef Aguerd each scored on corner kick routines.

Joachim Andersen - Deemed fit for Hammers clash Andersen (hamstring) will be available to face West Ham United on Saturday. Manager Roy Hodgson told reporters, "He's okay. [Will he be in the squad?] Yes."

Impact Andersen has started all 27 of his appearances for the club this season, so if he is fully fit he should be a near-lock to feature against the Hammers. Given his limited offensive upside, the central defender will likely be hard-pressed to provide more than mid-range fantasy value except in formats that heavily rely on defensive stats.

If he were to come in, he'd likely take the spot of Jordan Ayew in the XI, though that could be a revolving door as the season closes with Odsonne Edouard also an option to be moved out of the XI.

Impact Zaha was expected to practice late this week and that looks to be the case Thursday. Of course, he's been out since the beginning of the month, so it's hard to see him immediately entering the starting XI Saturday against West Ham, though it wouldn't be impossible. Either way, Zaha hasn't found much form in the second half of the season, failing to score since Nov. 6.

Impact Andersen had to come out of last weekend's loss to Wolves at halftime with an injury, and his status for the West Ham game on Saturday is uncertain. Chris Richards slid over to replace him in central defense against Wolverhampton and he or James Tomkins could get the start alongside Marc Guehi this weekend if Andersen isn't fit enough.
