FULHAM AIMING FOR BACK-TO-BACK WINS AGAINST THE HAMMERS
Following their victory against West Bromwich Albion on Monday in their last league match, Fulham aims for back-to-back wins against Westham United. In the match preview, Bobby De Cordova-Reid said he knows of the threats posed by a West Ham United side managed by David Moyes but insists Fulham are going to the London Stadium in great spirits.
Speaking to Fulhamfc.com, he said the Hammers are a good side, so they pose some dangers. He expects them to be solid as a unit especially playing away from home so they can pick up something.
De Cordova-Reid says the team is confident going into the game so they would try and push for maximum points. He hopes the team can get more points in ahead of the upcoming international break. Off the back of a win, he hopes they can push their luck against their opponents.
On the Fulham team news, Fulham coach Scott Parker might miss Mario Lemina through injury following his substitution at halftime of Monday's win over West Bromwich Albion. Terence Kongolo and Kenny Tete might still need some way to go, while Aboubakar Kamara is on suspension.
