West Ham vs Fulham

Graham Potter has become the first West Ham manager to win his first ever home Premier League game in charge of the Hammers since Sam Allardyce in August 2012 vs Aston Villa (1-0).

Fulham have lost their first Premier League game since November (vs Wolves) – ending the Cottagers’ longest unbeaten run in the competition (8 – W2 D6) since December 2008 (run of nine).

Carlos Soler’s opening goal made him the 175th player to score for West Ham in the Premier League (excl. own goals), at least two more different scorers than any other side in the competition.

West Ham are winless in their last three Premier League meetings with Fulham (D1 L2), having won five of their previous six against them before this (D1).

Fulham won this exact fixture 2-0 last season, ending a 12-match winless away run against West Ham in the Premier League (D4 L8). They’ve not won away at the Hammers in consecutive league campaigns since 1978-79/1979-80 in the second tier.

West Ham are winless in five Premier League London derby matches (D2 L3), with their last two finishing in 4-1 and 5-2 defeats against Tottenham and Arsenal respectively – no team has ever shipped 4+ goals in three consecutive Premier League London derby matches before.

Fulham are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League London derby matches (W5 D5) – it’s their longest run without a league defeat against fellow London sides since a run of 12 between February 1936 and October 1938.

West Ham’s last two Premier League games have seen them lose 5-0 to Liverpool and 4-1 to Manchester City. They’ve not lost three in a row since February 2024, while they last did so while conceding 4+ goals each time in March 2008 (0-4 defeats against Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs).
