A London derby is set to light up Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon as Fulham face off against West Ham United in the Premier League.
After a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United in their Premier League opener, Fulham bounced back by securing four points from their next two matches before the international break.
The Cottagers notched their first win of the 2024-25 season with a 2-1 triumph over Leicester City at home. They followed that up with a 2-0 victory over Birmingham City in the EFL Cup. However, their momentum was slightly halted when they settled for a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in their latest league encounter.
On the other hand, Julen Lopetegui's tenure at West Ham has been a rollercoaster, with his team recording two wins and two losses in their first four matches across all competitions.
The campaign began on a sour note with a 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa in the Premier League. However, West Ham bounced back with consecutive victories over Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, the latter coming in the EFL Cup. Unfortunately, they couldn't finish the international break on a positive note, as they lost 3-1 to Manchester City.

Unlike other Premier League clubs, Fulham is the only club who are in the enviable position of heading into the weekend with a fully fit squad.

Another new face, Joachim Andersen, could also see his first league action for Fulham since returning from Crystal Palace, potentially stepping in for either Issa Diop or Calvin Bassey at centre-back. Meanwhile, Adama Traore will be aiming to keep his spot on the right wing ahead of Harry Wilson.

West Ham team news
On the other hand, West Ham's summer acquisition Niclas Fullkrug is uncertain for the match after suffering a setback related to his Achilles tendon and calf while on international duty. Meanwhile, Aaron Cresswell remains out with a lingering hamstring injury.
Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is expected to return to the starting lineup after being substituted at halftime in the recent loss to Manchester City due to a back issue.
Deadline-day signing Carlos Soler may make his debut for the Hammers, though he’s likely to start from the bench. Manager Julen Lopetegui is anticipated to stick with Guido Rodriguez, Edson Alvarez, and Lucas Paqueta in central midfield.
