It’s all tied up in the Cottage
Despite West Ham being perceived as the considerably better side in this clash, they have failed to make this advantage felt, and have oft been held to just a point by the Cottagers.
Two of the last four clashes between the two sides have resulted in a draw. This whilst three of the last six, have been won by just a one-goal margin, with either side just needing to nick a lucky one to tie things all up.
Fatigue is also likely to set in, and with the tough winter run ahead, neither side is likely to put out a full-strength XI.
This should only bring the draw further into play, as each side struggles to put together good attacking moves due to their much-changed sides.
Fulham vs West Ham Tip 1: Draw @5/2 with bet365
Alex bringing attacking threat
Alex Iwobi had been struggling for form in the Fulham side, yet has seemingly found, having bagged two against Forest on Wednesday, this the first brace of his career.
This should only embolden his efforts up front, as he will look to target the goal, in a bid to maintain his purple patch.
The Nigerian international has been averaging 1.0 shots on target per game, yet with the Cottage crowd behind him, eager to see more of what he can bring to the side, this will force Alphonse Areola to be on his toes in the net.

Bowen brings the goals with him
Jarrod Bowen is West Ham’s top scorer on the season, with eight goals to his name. He has been their main outlet for much of their attacking play and, with Michail Antonio out with an injury, will be required to shoulder the burden.
He has been averaging 1.3 shots per game, yet Fulham haven’t exactly been famed for their defensive performances of late and could open the door for him to increase this.
He has scored in both of their last two away games before Thursday night, and with a host of shots on target to his name, he will look to continue in this vein.
