Fulham, Recent FormThe Fulham squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Bournemouth, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Bournemouth's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Marco Silva will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Manor Solomon will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Fulham.
West Ham United, Recent FormThe West Ham United squad will want to put the 5-1 home thrashing they received from Newcastle United firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. They came away from that fixture with a 42% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Newcastle United, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Their boss David Moyes is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 7 goals scored. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 7 away games out of 13 this season, he will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 12 of their past 13 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
Lucas Paquetá will be hoping to create problems for Fulham in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for West Ham United.
It was not a positive ending for Fulham last time they met West Ham United in the league, with the game ending in a 3-1 defeat.
The Hammers have managed to keep a clean sheet against Fulham in each of their previous 2 visits to Craven Cottage. Playing away from home, West Ham have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Fulham. The Cottagers have struggled to break down the West Ham defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
West Ham have built up an impressive record in the league against Fulham, going unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
With only Neeskens Kebano (Achilles tendon) and Layvin Kurzawa (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Marco Silva will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the West Ham manager David Moyes ahead of this clash, with Gianluca Scamacca (Knee) missing out, which gives Moyes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
