West Ham's four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League ended last weekend for Liverpool. The Hammers went down 2-1 after taking an early lead. Now, David Moyes' team will host London rivals Fulham on Saturday in a big six-point clash between the clubs.
Moyes' side may be on a four-game unbeaten streak in the league, but they still have just eight points from a possible 21. They are five points above the bottom three. Based on the poor performance of the teams at the bottom of the table, West Ham could retain their Premier League status due to the dismal points totals accumulated by the teams below them in the standings.
Fulham are coming off their first Premier League win of the season on Monday night against West Brom. It was a massive six-point game and the Cottagers climbed out of the relegation zone thanks to the win. Scott Parker's team scored just four points out of a possible 21. A win against West Ham would give Fulham some time to breathe, but not too much.
The last time West Ham and Fulham played in the Premier League was in the 2018-19 campaign. West Ham won both games by a combined score of 5-1. Can West Ham continue their excellent form against Fulham?

West Ham vs Fulham team news
Parker has four players on the disabled list at Craven Cottage. The coach must be without three of these players. Neeskens Kebano is recovering from a blow and could play an important role in Saturday's game. Meanwhile, Kenny Tete, Terence Kongolo and Joshua Onomah are excluded from the squad.
Parker is also without Aboubaker Kamara due to a red card suspension. It will not be available for selection until after the international break. Parker needs his top striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in the line-up to help Fulham take all three points. Mitrovic scored just two goals in seven games, the same as striker Bobby Reid.
West Ham have just one injury problem ahead of Saturday's game. Striker Michail Antonio is sidelined for the time being with a thigh injury. Antonio has no set return date at the moment. Antonio is the joint leader in West Ham's goalscoring department with three attacks. He is tied in goals with Jarrod Bowen.
Midfielder Pablo Fornals has two goals and two assists in seven games. He claimed West Ham's goal against Liverpool last weekend. West Ham were unable to match Liverpool's attacking strength in the game at Anfield. They shouldn't have that problem against Fulham.
West Ham vs Fulham Prediction
Both Teams to Score – BET NOW
West Ham's three consecutive league games ended with both teams hitting goal. West Ham proved to be a good team in attack, but they also conceded goals. Three of Fulham's last six league games have ended with both teams hitting the target. When these teams last met at the London Stadium, they both scored goals.
Jarrod Bowen to score anytime – BET NOW
Jarrod Bowen, 23, has become a reliable Premier League player since arriving from Hull City. The striker scored three goals in seven appearances for the club. On average, a goal every 199 minutes of league football. Moyes places Bowen on the right side of midfield and will likely face him from the start again on Saturday. With Antonio out of action, Bowen could propose a goal when the teams met. Bowen played against Fulham four times in his career and scored three times.
More than 2,5 goals scored – BET NOW
Five of West Ham's last six league games have ended with over 2,5 goals scored. That includes last weekend's defeat by Liverpool at Anfield. The Hammers have scored 13 times in the league this term, averaging 1,9 goals per game. They conceded 10 times, with an average of 1,4 goals per game.
Fulham have had four of their final seven league games with over 2,5 goals scored. The Cottagers defense struggled for much of the season, although it seems to have improved recently. The reason for the improvement is probably due to the quality of the competition.
The last time these teams played at the London Stadium, West Ham managed a 3-1 victory with over 2,5 goals scored. The Hammers must claim a win on Saturday night against Fulham at home to move three points clear of the relegation zone. West Ham may have gone off the rails last weekend against Liverpool, but they are set to return to unbeaten record at Fulham's expense.
