West Ham United faces Fulham on Saturday afternoon, aiming for crucial points.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s team is currently in the relegation zone at 18th place and hasn’t won in their last six matches. Another loss would add to a tough year, as they have recorded ten home league defeats.
However, West Ham has a strong record against Fulham, losing only once in their last 14 home games against them. Nuno hopes this trend can help his team escape the bottom three.
Nuno is dealing with international absences and injuries. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, which means Kyle Walker-Peters is likely to start at right-back.
In defense, Oliver Scarles is a significant doubt due to an injury sustained against Manchester City.
As a result, Marc Julio may join Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo in the backline. Up front, Jarrod Bowen is expected to lead the attack. He has been a reliable scorer at home and will be vital in breaking down Fulham’s defense. Lucas Paquetá and Crysencio Summerville are anticipated to support from the flanks.
West Ham United predicted XI: Areola; Walker-Peters, Kilman, Todibo, Julio; Potts, Fernandes, Magassa; Paquetá, Bowen, Summerville
