West Ham entertain Fulham later today as they look to keep up with Manchester United and Newcastle in the battle for European qualification.
David Moyes’ side succumbed to a late defeat at high-flying Bayer Leverkusen in their Europa League tie on Thursday. The Hammers will hope to regain momentum against Fulham, ahead of their return leg with the German leaders.
West Ham are aiming for just their second consecutive league win since December. They currently occupy seventh, the final guaranteed European spot, but have played a game more than eighth-placed Newcastle.
Fulham sit comfortably in mid-table. They are in 13th, nine points above Crystal Palace, who are only one place below. The west Londoners need just five points to secure Premier League safety for a second time in a row.
Marco Silva’s men were in contention for a European Conference League berth before picking up just one point in their last three games.
The previous meeting between the two teams came in December with the Cottagers leaving 5-0 winners.
Date, kick-off time and venue
West Ham vs Fulham is scheduled for a 2.00pm BST kick-off later today on Sunday, April 14, 2024.
