Fulham will aim to build on their first win of the campaign against West Bromwich Albion.

Mark Noble (rib) is unlikely to be fit in time for West Ham, but Aaron Cresswell (groin) should be available.

Mario Lemina is rated as "touch and go" by Fulham head coach Scott Parker, but Kenny Tete and Terence Kongolo remain out.

Did you know?

After losing their first Premier League home match against Fulham in November 2001, West Ham are unbeaten in their last 10 at home against the Cottagers in the top flight (W6 D4). 

West Ham manager David Moyes has won 12 of his 13 Premier League home meetings with Fulham, with his only failure coming in a 2-2 draw in February 2014 when in charge of Manchester United.

Fulham are looking to inflict on West Ham a ninth defeat in their last 13 Premier League London derby matches (W3 D1), though the Cottagers themselves are on a top-flight record run of 12 consecutive defeats in such matches.

Fulham are seeking back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since April 2019.
