Fulham vs West Ham United: Premier League Preview Fulham and West Ham United meet at Craven Cottage on Saturday, with both teams looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats in their last outings. The Cottagers are still searching for their first win of the season, while the Hammers are hoping to recover from a damaging loss to Manchester City. Fulham will be without suspended midfielder Joao Palhinha, who picked up his fifth booking of the season against Arsenal. However, Aleksandar Mitrovic returns after serving a one-match ban and could make an instant impact in attack. Manager Marco Silva has a full squad to choose from, with Tosin Adarabioyo and Manor Solomon both fit again. West Ham, on the other hand, will be without midfielder Declan Rice due to a hamstring strain. The England international is expected to miss at least two weeks of action, while fellow midfielder Pablo Fornals remains sidelined with a calf problem. Manager David Moyes may opt for a more defensive-minded approach following their heavy defeat to Manchester City, which could see the likes of Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd start in midfield. The head-to-head record between these two teams is even at 11 wins apiece from 23 meetings. However, West Ham have won three of the last four encounters, including a convincing 4-0 victory at Craven Cottage last season.
