West Ham United manager Nuno Espírito Santo has set the tone for a crucial London derby, confirming a fully fit squad ahead of Monday night's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Speaking to the press, Nuno attributed the clean bill of health to his squad's professional dedication, highlighting their "commitment to prepare themselves really well" and meticulous post-match recovery routines.

Riding the momentum of last week's vital victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, the atmosphere at the club's training ground is reportedly positive and focused. Nuno was quick to dismiss any concerns about complacency, stating, "It’s positive after a good performance and helps in terms of preparation. We will make sure we are focused on what we have to do."

While the win lifted the Hammers out of the relegation zone, the manager emphasized that the job is far from over. "It’s much better when you see [the table], but nothing has changed really," he noted, pointing to the six demanding fixtures that remain. He stressed that the team's focus must remain internal, regardless of results elsewhere this weekend.

The core challenge, according to Nuno, is maintaining the high performance levels required in the Premier League's intense final stretch. "Sustaining their levels of performance is very hard," he admitted, underscoring the relentless nature of the run-in.

Addressing transfer speculation, Nuno firmly shut down rumors surrounding defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, asserting the player remains "totally focused and committed" to the club's current battle.

Turning his attention to the challenge at Selhurst Park, the West Ham boss was full of respect for Monday's opponents. He warned that Crystal Palace's threats come from "all over the place," praising their established structure and talented individuals. "They are a very good team," Nuno said, acknowledging the successful system that has made Palace a consistently tough opponent.
