Palace suffered a disappointing defeat against Wolves last time out, while Leeds were on the end of a heavy 4-1 loss against Leicester, although their away form has been among the more impressive records in the Premier League this season. Follow the live updates below.
Half-time
A frenetic, end-to-end London derby is goalless at the break. West Ham had a flurry of chances early on but couldn’t convert, and Fulham have since grown into the game. It’s a tough one to call at this stage.
44 min
Fulham just about deal with another West Ham corner. This game has been reasonably entertaining, but badly lacking in quality.
40 min
Lookman plays a really clever pass through to Mitrovic, who tries to find De Cordova-Reid to his right as Fabianski rushes out. There’s too much on it, but the ball is played back into the middle and Cairney is denied by the goalkeeper from close range. It looks like a good chance, but the flag is up for offside.
39 min
Mitrovic attacks another ball into the box and Balbuena defends it well, getting in front of the striker and heading clear.
37 min
Fulham break through Lookman, who does well to drive down the left, beat Rice and then play in Mitrovic. In the end, the attack dies down when De Cordova-Reid has a cross blocked on the right flank.
35 min
Both teams are seeing moves break down too often in the final third, even if there are clear spaces to exploit. The finishing touch is lacking so far.
32 min
Haller throws himself to the ground in the box, and his appeals for a penalty are ignored.
30 min
West Ham send a corner into the box and Areola is twice forced to punch clear under pressure. The hosts are starting to build some momentum now.
