Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Newcastle United in Premier League action, Fulham will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Fulham managed 67% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Newcastle United got 12 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Bruno Guimarães (81') scored for Newcastle United.

In as many as 5 out of the previous 6 games featuring Fulham, three or more goals have been struck. The overall average goals scored per match during that time is 3.33, with the number of goals averaged by Fulham being 1.83. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through here, though.

Pre-game facts show that Fulham:

• have not beaten West Ham United when they've played them away from home in the last 12 matches in the league. Not an away record to be proud of.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 league matches.
