Fulham continue their push for a top-seven finish as they meet relegation-battling West Ham in a London derby.
Victory could lit Fulham into ninth if Everton slip up at home to Burnley on Tuesday evening, whilst West Ham can climb out of the relegation zone with a win if Nottingham Forest lose elsewhere.
Team News
Harry Wilson is a doubt for Fulham after he suffered an ankle injury in their 2-1 win against Tottenham, which saw him substituted at half time.
Joachim Andersen (illness) and Sasa Lukic (muscle) could return but Kevin (metatarsal) is still ruled out.
West Ham have no fresh injury concerns to report after their 5-2 loss at Liverpool last Saturday.
Freddie Potts (suspension), Pablo (knock) and Lukasz Fabianski (back) remain sidelined.
When is Kick-Off?
Fulham meet West Ham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday 4 March at 7:30pm GMT, live on TNT Sports 5 in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Fulham have lost one of their last five league meetings against West Ham (W3, D1, L1).
- West Ham have lost one of their last five visits to Fulham (W2, D2, L1).
- Raul Jimenez has scored in two of Fulham’s last three meetings against West Ham.
- Alex Iwobi has scored in both of Fulham’s last two matches (W2).
- Crysencio Summerville has scored in both of West Ham’s two away London derbies in 2026 (W1, L1), as the Hammers won 3-1 at Tottenham then lost 3-2 at Chelsea in January.
Prediction
Firmly in the race for at least seventh unless sixth-placed Chelsea lose at Aston Villa, Fulham are now back in form and clinically dispatched Tottenham in a first-half display before they weathered a second-half fightback attempt, but they now need to just keep the momentum up in a winnable month.
West Ham meanwhile were just a defensive mess in their loss at Liverpool although the Reds weren’t much better in that aspect, yet they just lacked the clinical firepower of their hosts despite their attempts to fight their way back into the game which is a small positive in terms of the second-half performance.
Fulham though could be without Wilson but I still expect them to bring their high-energy attacking play which will pose a test for West Ham, but if they can be more solid and weather that pressure then they could nick a point given their away form at Craven Cottage.
Prediction: Fulham 1-1 West Ham
Result: Fulham 0-1 West Ham
