West Ham vs Fulham: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
West Ham United host Fulham in a Premier League meeting between the east and west of London on Sunday afternoon.
These clubs made contrasting starts to the season. While West Ham were the last team in England's top four tiers to eke out a goal or point, Fulham returned to the Premier League with three unbeaten outings.
However, the Hammers come into the contest on the back of four wins from five whereas Fulham may still be smarting after the 4-1 thrashing Newcastle dished out at Craven Cottage last weekend.
Here's everything you need to know about the meeting between this capital pair.

West Ham team news
Jarrod Bowen brushed aside a dislocated finger in West Ham's previous Premier League match to start against Anderlecht in the Europa Conference League on Thursday. David Moyes has been able to welcome a host of names back into the side but there is some doubt over Maxwel Cornet's fitness after he picked up a calf problem last weekend.
West Ham predicted lineup vs Fulham
West Ham Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Fornals; Scamacca.
Bench: Areola, Coufal, Antonio, Lanzini, Downes, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Emerson, Johnson.
Fulham team news
Nathaniel Chalobah's eighth-minute red card against Newcastle significantly influenced that defeat but the prospect of Aleksandar Mitrovic being sidelined could impact numerous results for Fulham going forward. The club's talismanic striker limped off last weekend after aggravating the same problem "in his foot" which he picked up on international duty, leaving his involvement uncertain.
Both full backs Layvin Kurzawa and Kenny Tete are nursing knocks while Willian is struggling with a calf problem. Antonee Robinson suffered a "little setback" in his recovery from an ankle injury last week but Joao Palhinha will be available after serving his suspension against Newcastle.
Manor Solomon and Harry Wilson aren't scheduled to return from a pair of knee injuries until November at the earliest.
Fulham predicted lineup vs West Ham
Fulham Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Leno; Mbabu, Tosin, Diop, Ream; Reed, Palhinha; James, Pereira, Decordova-Reid; Vinicius.
Bench: Rodak, Gazzaniga, Kebano, Cairney, Onomah, Duffy, Harris, Parkes, Ablade.
West Ham vs Fulham score prediction
In an uncharacteristic show of optimism for a manager who once predicted a relegation dogfight in August, Moyes tentatively suggested: "I think the players are beginning to show signs of getting back to form." The Hammers managed to navigate a European tie away from home with a weakened team in midweek as Moyes granted some much-needed time off for the side's established starters.
Fulham have alternated between victory and defeat in each of their last six matches but the Cottagers could be in line for a second loss on the spin - especially against opponents growing in confidence who are unbeaten against the west London outfit in 11 Premier League home games.
Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Fulham
