Recent respective form guides

Fulham's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Cottagers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

West Ham Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Fulham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 19 points from their 26 games thus far. West Ham Utd.'s 37 points from 25 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
