Fulham face West Ham on Sunday in the Premier League with both teams in good form. Any London derby is tough to call but our Fulham vs West Ham prediction is for a narrow home win with Marco Silva getting the better of David Moyes.
Match result prediction: Fulham to win
Both teams have bee impressive of late but home advantage could be the key here. Fulham have won five of their last seven matches at Craven Cottage and they put on a show for their supporters on Wednesday when the beat Nottingham Forest 5-0. West Ham shouldn't be taken lightly but they have a day less to prepare for this one after a playing a hard-fought match against Spurs on Thursday.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Neither side has exactly been goal-shy recently which sets us up for an exciting match at Craven Cottage. As mentioned, Fulham come into this one after scoring five last time out and prior to that, they scored three at Anfield. West Ham, meanwhile, have scored at least one goal in their last eight matches in all competitions and have scored in every single away match this season.
Correct score prediction: Fulham 2-1 West Ham
West Ham have dominated this fixture in recent years but it's about time that Fulham got some bragging rights back in this London derby. Their home form should give them the edge here but it would be foolish to rule out a West Ham goal given their impressive goalscoring record away from home this season.

Fulham predicted line-up vs West Ham
Marco Silva doesn't have too many injury concerns ahead of this one so an unchanged eleven is expected for Fulham after their impressive performance last time out. Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez both gave their best performances in a Fulham shirt to date on Wednesday and the duo will be keen to build on that here. Issa Diop and Adama Traore are the only injury absentees for the Cottagers.
Leno – Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson – Cairney, Palhinha – Wlilian, Pereira, Iwobi – Jimenez
West Ham predicted lineup vs Fulham
David Moyes will still be without Michail Antonio for the trip to Craven Cottage on Sunday with the Jamaican still a few weeks away from returning from injury. The only other injury doubt in the West Ham squad is Alphonse Areola. The goalkeeper missed the match against Tottenham on Thursday and will be assessed ahead of kick-off. If he does miss out, then Fabianski will retain his place between the sticks.
Fabianski – Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson – Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek – Kudus, Bowen, Paqueta
Fulham vs West Ham: What the fans think
Fulham fans buzzing with Silva
Huge credit to Marco Silva. Our side suffered huge confidence blows with the late loss of Mitro & near late losses of Palhinia & Willian. To get this side back to where we are …fair play👏🏻
