It's roles reversed as West Ham host Fulham in Sunday afternoon's London derby. At the beginning of the season, you might have expected the Hammers to be sitting pretty in eight place in the Premier League, while it would be the Cottagers languishing in 15th with just two wins from eight games, but it's quite the opposite. Both need a win but for very different reasons.

The teams are in and West Ham make one change from last week's defeat of Wolves as Pablo Fornals replaced Maxwel Cornet in Davie Moyes' starting XI. That means Craig Dawson continues alongside Kurt Zouma at centre-back, with Thilo Kehrer and Aaron Creswell at full-back. Declan Rice captains the side, with Gianluca Scamacca continuing upfront. Michail Antonio, Manuel Lanzini and Said Benrahma start on the bench.

Fulham, meanwhile, make four changes the biggest of which sees Aleksandar Mitrovic missing out withe foot injury he picked up last weekend. The Cottagers will, however, be gladdened by the return of Joao Palhinha to the XI, while Neeskens Kebano, Carlos Vinicius and Antonee Robinson all come in. Tom Cairney and former Hammer Issa Diop start on the bench.

It's been a slow start to the 2022/23 Premier League for West Ham who lost their first three games without troubling the scoresheet and picked up just four points from their first seven games. Manager David Moyes will, however, be heartened by the Hammers' improved display in a 2-0 defeat of struggling Wolves last weekend, not least because marquee £30.5m summer signing Gianluca Scamacca scored his first Premier League goal for the club.

England winger Jarrod Bowen also found the net, while Brazilian signing Lucas Paqueta also began to show flashes of his undoubted ability. Back-to-back wins would be quite the tonic.

Fulham, meanwhile, lost just once in their opening five Premier League games – and that to pace-setters Arsenal – following their top-flight return this summer. The Cottagers have lost two of their last three since – with a come-from-behind win at Nottingham Forest their only win in that time – and last weekend fell to a chastening 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle.

Boss Marco Silva will, however, be delighted to welcome back totemic midfielder Joao Palhinha who missed the Magpies defeat through suspension and has been the west Londoners best player this season. Aleksandar Mitrovic will look to add to the six goals the Serb has already struck this season.
