Fulham v West Ham United | Lineups, goals, score predictions

The number of games remaining is starting to tick down at a frightening rate and West Ham remain in the relegation zone. Tonight’s encounter with Fulham represents what may be one of the Hammers’ last opportunities to leapfrog Nottingham Forest and take a step towards safety whilst their nearest rivals are still just two points ahead.

So begins the next in the series of ‘must win’ games. Nuno has virtually a full squad to choose from as he heads across London to take on Fulham who have their own European aspirations and will represent a big challenge for the Hammers under the lights tonight at Craven Cottage.

Nuno’s main quandary will be over who to play between the posts after Hermansen shipped five at Anfield. Our best guess for his ‘likely’ line up will be to see him recall Areola: Apart from that, with Pablo still injured the Hammers are likely to remain unchanged: Unless, of course, Nuno throws caution to the wind and reinstates Callum Wilson alongside Castellanos.

Which means the starting XI would look like:

Predicted West Ham XI:

Areola | Wan Bissaka, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf | Magassa, Soucek, Fernandes, | Summerville, Castellanos, Bowen (c)
