Match Context
Premier League, Regular Season - 29 at Craven Cottage, London. Kick-off: 2026-03-04, 19:30 UTC. Fulham come in 10th with 40 points and a -2 goal difference, strong at home (8 wins from 14). West Ham sit 18th on 25 points with a -20 goal difference and are in the relegation zone.
Fulham Availability
Fulham have one confirmed absentee: midfielder Kevin is ruled out with injury. Two key midfield options are uncertain: S. Lukic is facing a late fitness test with a muscle injury, while H. Wilson is also doubtful with an injury. Wilson’s potential absence would be significant – he leads Fulham with 9 goals and 6 assists in 27 league appearances. In attack, R. Jiménez is fit and available, bringing 8 goals and 3 assists, while creative support from the likes of A. Iwobi and E. Smith Rowe is expected to be ready.
West Ham Availability
West Ham are without experienced goalkeeper Ł. Fabiański, sidelined by a back injury. Attacker Pablo is also ruled out with a calf injury, and midfielder F. Potts misses out through suspension after a red card. Key attacking threats remain available: J. Bowen brings 8 goals and 4 assists, while E. Diouf (5 assists) is fit to provide supply.
Impact Summary
Fulham’s main concern is the possible loss of Wilson’s 15 goal contributions, while West Ham’s absentees are more rotational. Crucially, both sides retain their primary attacking focal points in Jiménez and Bowen.
