Fulham travel across London on Saturday, aiming for a third consecutive Premier League victory.
Marco Silva’s side have found their rhythm on the road recently, winning their last two away matches. A win here would cap off a strong end to the year. The Cottagers face a West Ham side low on confidence. With the hosts conceding heavily in London derbies this season (14 goals conceded in five losses), Fulham will sense an opportunity to attack. Raúl Jiménez will be particularly eager; he has six Premier League goals against West Ham and boasts a perfect penalty record.
Fulham team news
Marco Silva’s squad has been depleted by the Africa Cup of Nations. The Nigerian trio of Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze, and Alex Iwobi are all unavailable. This forces changes across the pitch. Jorge Cuenca is expected to step into central defence, while Kevin could start on the wing.
On the injury front, Rodrigo Muniz remains out with a hamstring issue, and Ryan Sessegnon is missing with a muscle problem. In midfield, Saša Lukić and Sander Berge will likely anchor the team. Up front, Raúl Jiménez leads the line, supported by the creative talents of Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe.
