West Ham United will face local rivals Fulham at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
The home team have endured a slightly slow start to the league campaign and recorded just their second win of the season in their previous outing. Gianluca Scamacca opened his goalscoring account in the Premier League while Jarrod Bowen added a goal in the second half in a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Fulham were reduced to 10 men in the eighth minute of their game against Newcastle United, with Nathaniel Chalobah being shown a straight red card. Newcastle made the most of their numerical advantage and recorded a 4-1 win.
West Ham have just seven points to their name this season and are in 15th place in the league table. Fulham have 11 points and sit in ninth place. Both teams will be looking to produce a solid outing in this London derby game.
