West Ham preview: Improving Irons

West Ham United’s performance level has been improved of late, following the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo, but the gap between themselves and safety has been growing.

The Irons most recently suffered a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, meaning that they have drawn three and lost three of their last six matches.

Fulham preview: Improving Fulham

Fulham come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage on Monday evening, courtesy of a first-half stoppage-time penalty scored by Mexico international striker Raul Jimenez.

The Cottagers have been pushing themselves away from the bottom three and the relegation places of late, managing five victories in their last eight matches in the top-flight.

West Ham vs Fulham prediction

Nuno Espirito Santo’s Hammers earned back-to-back victories a couple of months ago and they were both entertaining wins against both Burnley and Newcastle United. They now face a Fulham side that themselves are also entertaining to watch, too, with an abundance of attacking personnel. West Ham are due a win and, with home advantage, will fancy themselves but it is unlikely to be straightforward.
