West Ham v Fulham

West Ham vs Fulham Preview

Next up on Sunday afternoon is this all-London clash between hosts West Ham and their visitors Fulham when the two teams meet at the London Stadium with West Ham heading into this upcoming clash in confident mood having registered a 2-1 win away from home at Wolves last weekend, while Fulham were dealt a second defeat on the trot in the Premier League after suffering a 1-0 loss at home to Newcastle United, leaving Fulham in 13th place in the table.

The likes of Manchester United, West Ham and Newcastle United are all vying for sixth place in the Premier League table which will bring increased financial reward at the end of the season although a European spot does look out of reach now for all three clubs.

Following a rather lean period of results from early January through to mid-February which culminated in failing to win any of their six matches within this period and being handed three defeats in the process, West Ham have since turned things around as they have lost just one further game in their subsequent seven matches.

That loss was a 4-3 defeat away from home at Newcastle United, but David Moyes' side have also registered wins against Brentford, Everton and Wolves respectively.

Fulham have found league wins hard to come by in recent weeks in the Premier League as The Cottagers have managed to muster just the single win from their last five attempts which came in the form of a comprehensive and impressive 3-0 home win against Tottenham at Craven Cottage.

However, the visitors have also been subjected to losses at the hands of Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, the latter two defeats being on the trot, while the bigger picture shows Fulham have picked up just four wins from their previous 12 games overall in the English top flight.

Having also suffered five defeats within this sequence, the goals market may be the best option for this upcoming clash with West Ham especially as nine out of these last 12 games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals, while Fulham may just fancy their chances of turning over The Hammers once again after inflicting a 5-0 thrashing upon the east end club back in mid-December.

That said, Fulham have managed to capture just one win from their previous 15 outings on the road, losing nine of these games while 11 of these 15 games have also produced three goals or more.
