West Ham look to make it 5 wins out of 6 in all competitions as they host London rivals Fulham at The London Stadium on Sunday 9th October 2pm kick off.

West Ham are coming off a 1-0 win against Belgian side Anderlecht, leaving them 5 points clear at the top of their Europe Conference League group. In the league, the Hammers sit 15th in the table after getting their first home win of the season last Saturday against Wolves.

Fulham are currently 8th after starting the season well. However, they’re coming off the back of a horror show losing 4-1 at home to Newcastle last Saturday.

West Ham Looking to Add On from Last Week’s Game

The Hammers were victorious last time they played in the Premier League so they are looking to keep up the good form and climb up the league table.

In-form Scamacca looking to Continue Goal Scoring Form

Hammers’ new striker Gianluca Scamacca will be hoping to continue his good form, scoring in 3 of his last 4 appearances.

Injuries and Dismissals

Maxwell Cornet is a doubt after missing Thursday’s game with a calf injury, while Nayef Aguard remains out with an ankle injury.

Alexsandar Mitrović is questionable to play after sustaining a foot injury against Newcastle, while William is doubtful and Harry Wilson remains unavailable.

Fulham will be without Nathaniel Chalobah after getting sent off last week.

Score Prediction

A 4 – 1 loss at home to Newcastle has ruined the momentum that Fulham had from the week before and potentially losing out on their star player Mitrović does not help them going into this game.

With West Ham having a slow start to the league, but gaining their first win, it could allow them to edge the victory.

West Ham 2 – 1 Fulham.
