Graham Potter Faces Challenges as West Ham Look to Recover Against Fulham.

Graham Potter’s tenure as West Ham manager got off to a disappointing start with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in the FA Cup last Friday. Now, Potter’s primary focus shifts to improving the club’s league form, which has been far from ideal. The 47-year-old manager was handed an early setback with an injury crisis in the forward positions. Niclas Füllkrug, who had a premature exit from the FA Cup clash, joins Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen on the sidelines, leaving West Ham’s attacking options severely limited for their upcoming Premier League match against Fulham.

Despite the setback, Potter remains optimistic, encouraged by what he saw during the FA Cup match at Villa Park. He will hope to draw from West Ham’s solid home record in recent meetings with Fulham, where they have been dominant, winning eight of the last 12 encounters with three draws and just one loss. That solitary defeat came last season, and while West Ham has been strong in these fixtures, their performances in London derbies this season have been concerning. They have lost both home derbies by three-goal margins, and with three consecutive derbies lined up at home, this match offers a crucial opportunity for Potter to turn things around quickly.

Fulham, on the other hand, are coming into this match with plenty of confidence after a comfortable 4-1 FA Cup win against Championship side Watford. That victory extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions to nine games (W3, D6). Marco Silva’s side has been in solid form recently, scoring at least two goals in each of their last three Premier League matches (W1, D2). This attacking form will surely give Fulham hope as they look to further solidify their position in the top half of the Premier League table.

On the road, Fulham has been particularly resilient, with only two defeats in away league matches this season. Their record of three wins and four draws away from home is impressive, with only Liverpool having lost fewer away games in the Premier League this season. The Cottagers will be buoyed by the fact that it is nearly a year since their last away defeat in a top-flight London derby, a run that includes three wins and two draws, with their last away success in such fixtures coming in April when they triumphed 2-0 over West Ham.

West Ham’s attack will need to find a way to compensate for the absences of key players like Antonio, Bowen, and Füllkrug. Lucas Paquetá, who scored West Ham’s sole goal against Villa, will be key for the hosts. The Brazilian midfielder has four goals this season, and three of those have been the opening goals in matches, showcasing his ability to deliver when his team needs it most. However, with the team facing a significant attacking shortage, Paquetá’s role in dictating play and creating opportunities will be more important than ever.

For Fulham, Raúl Jiménez has been in excellent form, scoring four goals in his last three appearances. What makes Jiménez even more dangerous is his ability to strike after halftime, with all three of his most recent goals coming in the second period. This could be a crucial factor in a game that may see both teams open up as the match progresses.

While both teams have their strengths, this match will be pivotal for West Ham as they look to avoid a third consecutive defeat in a London derby. It’s also important to note that Potter has a solid record when it comes to his first home league match in charge of a new club. He has never lost such a game, with two wins and two draws to his name. This could offer a glimmer of hope for the West Ham faithful, as they look to bounce back from a tough start under their new manager.

As the match approaches, all eyes will be on how Potter sets up his side to overcome the injury crisis and get back on track in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Fulham will be eager to extend their unbeaten run and continue their excellent form away from home. This London derby promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams having a lot to prove as they head into this crucial clash.

West Ham needs a strong performance to gain momentum, while Fulham will be looking to capitalize on the home team’s vulnerabilities and take advantage of their own solid away form. With attacking threats on both sides, this game is poised to be a thrilling affair. The outcome will likely have a significant impact on both teams’ aspirations for the remainder of the season.
