West Ham United host Fulham this evening.

West Ham head into the game having drawn at Crystal Palace last time out, and will be looking to beat a London neighbour this time.

Lukasz Fabianski starts in goal, and Pablo Zabaleta comes back into defence at the expense of ex-Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks.

Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell join the Argentinian in the back line, with Declan Rice and Mark Noble protecting them.

Javier Hernandez is given the nod up front, with support from Felipe Anderson, Robert Snodgrass and Michail Antonio.

Returning Manuel Lanzini is on the bench, alongside Adrian, Fredericks, Pedro Obiang, Samir Nasri, Marko Arnautovic and Andy Carroll.

Meanwhile, Fulham desperately need points in their battle against the drop, with the situation beginning to look drastic for Claudio Ranieri’s side.

He lines up with Sergio Rico in goal tonight, and he’ll be protected by a back four of Denis Odoi, Tim Ream, Havard Nordtveit and Joe Bryan.

Calum Chambers joins Jean Seri in midfield, and Ryan Sessegnon, Tom Cairney and Ryan Babel will support lone striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Luciano Vietto is therefore dropped to the bench, alongside Fabricio, Maxime Le Marchand, Cyrus Christie, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Lazar Markovic and Floyd Ayite.
