Saturday’s friendly would see West Ham United travel to West London to face a side they have not lost to since 2013. For the hosts, it is their first game since the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League before the World Cup break, while the Hammers have already played two friendlies during this break.

West Ham United won both friendlies that were played against Cambridge United and Udinese free soccer tips 4-2 and 3-1 respectively, and will now face Fulham this weekend in their final friendly before their league game against league leaders Arsenal on Boxing Day.

After a series of poor performances in the league, the visitors remain 14th in the table. They went into the World Cup break with three league defeats in a row, failing to score on two occasions. But the wins against Cambridge and Udinese must have lifted the team's spirits.

Meanwhile, Fulham went into the break with just one defeat from their last six games. Backed by wins against Manchester City, Leeds United and Aston Villa, Marco Silva's side would be looking to prove that they deserve their place in the standings.
