London derby as Premier League returns from international break
Fulham will today host West Ham in a Premier League London derby.
The Cottagers went into the international break back on track following their opening day defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Marco Silva’s side have since beaten Leicester and have drawn with Ipswich to get some early points on the board.
The Hammers, meanwhile, lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City before the break but the scoreline perhaps did not tell the whole story. Julen Lopetegui’s side impressed in parts of that game and have won their only London derby this season thus far, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park last month.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Fulham vs West Ham is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time today on Saturday 14 September, 2024.
