Fulham heads to West Ham on Saturday, looking for their third consecutive Premier League win.
Marco Silva’s team has gained momentum lately with two away victories. A win would be a strong finish to the year. West Ham is struggling and has conceded 14 goals in five losses during London derbies this season, presenting an opportunity for Fulham to capitalize. Raúl Jiménez has a favorable record against West Ham, with six goals and a flawless penalty history.
Fulham team news
The squad is affected by the Africa Cup of Nations, with Nigerian players Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze, and Alex Iwobi all unavailable. This leads to some adjustments in the lineup. Jorge Cuenca is set to fill in at central defense, while Kevin may start on the wing.
Injuries also pose challenges; Rodrigo Muniz is out with a hamstring problem, and Ryan Sessegnon is sidelined due to a muscle injury. Midfielders Saša Lukić and Sander Berge are expected to lead the midfield. Raúl Jiménez will be at the front, supported by Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe.
