Read the full analysisWest Ham come into the match with a better run of results and the advantage of London Stadium, but Fulham have a recent favorable precedent at this ground and a concrete mechanism through crosses and aerial play. The decisive limitation remains the lack of confirmed information on absentees, goalkeepers, and lineups.
West Ham won four of their six listed matches before the fixture, including a 4-1 win at Southampton in the Carabao Cup on 25 August and a 3-0 win against Derby on 5 September, before losing 3-2 at Bolton on 8 September. Fulham lost four of their five listed matches, although they did record a 3-0 win against AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup on 27 August.
Both teams played on 5 September and therefore have comparable rest before 15 September. The available data do not allow for a proper comparison of xG, shots, or pressing over a homogeneous period and using a single provider.
Two meetings from the 2025-26 season are documented: West Ham 0-1 Fulham on 27 December 2025, followed by Fulham 0-1 West Ham on 4 March 2026. In the first match, Fulham scored with a header from a Harry Wilson cross and dominated shots, 15 to 11, as well as shots on target, 4 to 2.
These precedents indicate possible scenarios but have limited prédictive valeur, as the squads and contexts have changed.
No usable official list of absentees, suspended players, unavailable goalkeepers, or uncertain starters is available as of 9 September 2026. Fulham published a match-approach announcement on 8 September without detailed medical information.
The club indicated on 3 September that several new signings were training with the squad, without confirming their starting status or competitive availability.
The verified objective is qualification for the next round, with no league standings or first-leg score. In the scenario favorable to West Ham, home advantage, a direct tempo, and quick attacks after winning the ball back could extend their good offensive run, but the 3-2 defeat at Bolton highlights their defensive fragility.
In the scenario favorable to Fulham, crosses, wide attacks, and aerial play could target a défense vulnerable in box duels, as in the 1-0 victory at London Stadium on 27 December 2025; West Ham could nevertheless reverse this momentum through effective pressure on the first buildup and better box defending.
Rebuilt from the team sheet: not the announced starting eleven.
