Your support makes all the difference.West Ham have gone five matches without a win in all competitions for the first time since December 2017. Manuel Pellegrini’s side won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Craven Cottage and have a good chance of returning to winning ways against a Fulham side who total just four league wins since promotion.
The Hammers’ dip in form has coincided with Marko Arnautovic’s disagreements with the club over a transfer to China. The Austrian forward’s last goal came in a 2-2 draw with Brighton on January 2nd and he has been sidelined in favour of Javier Hernandez.
Samir Nasri and Manuel Lanzini could be involved for the hosts as they both return to training following injury.
Almost two weeks is an age without a game for Premier League sides who have not been in the best run of form, in particular Fulham, who languish eight points adrift from safety.
Claudio Ranieri’s mission to help Fulham avoid the drop looks increasingly insurmountable having gained just two wins from their previous 13 Premier League fixtures.
