PREM: Fulham v West Ham preview
Fulham v West Ham preview
West Ham will be looking for a fourth Premier League win in a row when they travel to Fulham on Saturday.
The Hammers have beaten Newcastle, Cardiff and Crystal Palace to climb up the table - they are just one point outside the top half.
"We are improving without any doubt," said manager Manuel Pellegrini.
"The results say we are improving and scoring goals, which is not easy. It is not easy to win three games in a row and score three goals in each.
"We must be very careful. We must continue working in the same way. We must try to keep getting good results."
While West Ham are moving up the table, Fulham are bottom.
They have taken four points from four matches under new manager Claudio Ranieri, losing 4-1 at Manchester United last weekend.
Maxime Le Marchand is out injured for Fulham and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa is suspended.
Calum Chambers, Floyd Ayite and Kevin McDonald are available.
West Ham's Jack Wilshere will miss the trip with an ankle injury.
The midfielder could be joined on the sidelines by striker Lucas Perez, who suffered a badly cut foot against Crystal Palace last week.
Marko Arnautovic, Andriy Yarmolenko, Ryan Fredericks, Carlos Sanchez, Winston Reid and Manuel Lanzini remain on a lengthy casualty list.
Lucas Perez will be assessed due to a foot injury but Andy Carroll, who replaced Perez at half-time last weekend, is fit.
