This Premier League clash takes place at the London Stadium in London, United Kingdom and kicks off on Tuesday, January 14 at 7:30 p.m. local time.
The hosts will miss the services of their ace midfielder Emerson (physical discomfort). Jean-Clair Todibo (muscle), Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio (broken leg), Jarrod Bowen (foot), and Niclas Fullkrug (hamstring) are also sidelined with injury.
English striker Danny Ings, who has one goal and one assist in 10 Premier League outings, is likely to get a start in the starting XI.
Vladimir Coufal and Carlos Soler are also in line to return after recovering from their injuries.
West Ham predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Fabianski (GK) — Coufal, Mavropanos, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka — Alvarez, Soler — Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta — Ings.
Injured: Todibo Summerville, Antonio, Bowen, Fullkrug
Suspended: None
As for the visitors, Dutch defender Kenny Tete (knee) and English striker Reiss Nelson (hamstring) are confirmed to miss this match, while Sander Berge and Rodrigo Muniz‘s participation is in doubt.
After some major changes to the lineup against Watford in the FA Cup clash, Marco Silva will be eager to recall some of the key players. The list includes Issa Diop, Raul Jimenez, Tom Cairney, Calvin Bassey, and Bernd Leno.
Fulham predicted XI (3-4-3, right to left): Leno (GK) — Diop, Andersen, Bassey — Castagne, Lukic, Cairney, Robinson — Wilson, Jimenez, Iwobi.
Injuries: Tete, Nelson, Berge (doubtful), Muniz (doubtful)
Suspensions: None
Struggling West Ham have limited attacking options available for this clash. Meanwhile, Fulham have played out draws in five of their last six league matches, including those against Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Though not one of the strongest defences, Fulham’s back-line has efficiently closed down spaces and angles to remain afloat against the big teams. Tuesday’s London derby is likely to be a low-scoring affair, with the visitors edging to a win.
Prediction: Fulham 1-0 West Ham
