Fulham vs West Ham United prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21

West Ham United have an outside chance of cracking into the top four with a win when they travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.

Fulham and West Ham United are two teams with entirely different things on their mind as they go to battle on Saturday. Scott Parker's Fulham are reeling and have not been able to get anything out of their recent games than some hard-fought draws.

They were beaten 2-0 by Leicester City on Wednesday as James Maddison ran riot at the King Power Stadium. Fulham's last win came towards the end of November against the Foxes. They haven't won any of their last Premier League matches, losing four and drawing six in the process.

West Ham United will be pumped as they walk into Craven Cottage after beating Aston Villa 3-1 at Villa Park thanks to a brace from new loan signing Jesse Lingard. West Ham United, who have 38 points from 22 matches, are now just two points behind fourth-placed Liverpool on the Premier League table.
