Fulham v West Ham: Can the Hammers hammer Fulham?
Neither Fulham nor West Ham enter this game in any form. Both sides have only managed two wins from their previous 10 league outings, but Fulham are a favourite opponent for the Hammers.
Fulham have only got the better of West Ham twice in the Premier Legaue era - 0-2 in 2001 and 3-2 in 2010. The Hammers put them to the sword in September, cruising to a 3-0 win.
Martin Jol had turned Craven Cottage into a fortress during the first half of 2012, but Man City, Sunderland, Spurs and Swansea have all left West London with full points this season. West Ham will head across the capital confident of adding their name to that illustrious list.
The Hammers were unfortunate not to have claimed all three points from QPR recently. Although they went a goal down they battered Julio Cesar's goal but just couldn't find a winner. They will be hurting following their 5-1 spanking at Arsenal and should come out all guns blazing.
Former Spurs boss Martin Jol and Dimitar Berbatov will never forgive West Ham for ruining their Champions League hopes on the final day of the 2005/06 season, but can they gain some revenge tonight?
Fulham v West Ham; Kick Off 8pm January 30 2013
