Fulham v West Ham: Team News Ahead of their Premier League clash at Craven Cottage, both Fulham and West Ham have been boosted by the return of key players. For the hosts, Aleksandar Mitrović is set to start after recovering from a hamstring injury that kept him out for the last three matches. Mitrović's presence will be a welcome one for Fulham fans, who have struggled to find the net without their star striker. The Serbian international has scored seven goals in 12 appearances this season and his return could not come at a better time, with the Cottagers having won just once in their last five league matches. In contrast, West Ham will be able to call upon the services of midfielder Declan Rice, who was absent for the Hammers' draw against Chelsea last weekend due to a minor knock. The 22-year-old has been an ever-present figure in David Moyes' side this season and his energy and drive in midfield are invaluable. Fulham will also be able to name Ivan Cavaleiro in their squad, after he overcame a bout of illness to play the full 90 minutes in last weekend's defeat against Manchester City. The Portuguese forward has struggled for form this term, but his pace and movement could cause problems for West Ham's backline. West Ham, meanwhile, will be without midfielder Mark Noble, who suffered a nasty ankle injury during their draw with Chelsea. Noble was forced off the pitch after just 20 minutes and is unlikely to feature again before the end of the season. The match at Craven Cottage kicks off at 8pm on Monday night and promises to be an intriguing encounter between two teams looking to bounce back from disappointing recent results.#Chelsea #Manchester_City #West_Ham #Craven_Cottage #Fulham #David_Moyes #Declan_Rice #Aleksandar_Mitrovi #Ivan_Cavaleiro #Mark_Noble
