West Ham United will look to begin the Graham Potter era in the Premier League on a positive note as they host in-form Fulham at the London Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams approach the match following contrasting results in the FA Cup, with West Ham exiting the competition after a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, while Fulham cruised past Watford 4-1 to reach the fourth round.

The Hammers' recent form in the Premier League has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five games. They are in 14th place with 23 points from 20 matches and are struggling offensively, particularly with key players like Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio sidelined. Danny Ings, expected to lead the attack, will aim to end his dry spell in front of goal. Potter's side also faces a stern challenge defensively, having conceded nine goals in their last two league outings against Liverpool and Manchester City. With a thin squad and just three home league wins this season, West Ham must produce a strong performance to halt their decline.

Fulham, on the other hand, are in excellent form, enjoying a nine-match unbeaten streak across all competitions and sitting comfortably in ninth place with 30 points. Marco Silva’s men have proven their mettle in big games, securing draws against Arsenal and Liverpool and beating Chelsea. With Raúl Jiménez leading the line, supported by the creative Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi, the visitors boast a balanced attack capable of troubling West Ham’s leaky defense. Their defensive solidity, led by Issa Diop and Calvin Bassey, has also been a key factor in their success.

Fulham's unbeaten streak and superior form make them favorites for this clash. Despite West Ham's home advantage and the fresh start under Graham Potter, their attacking struggles and injury woes could leave them vulnerable. Fulham's cohesion and confidence should see them edge a narrow victory.

周二，西汉姆联将在伦敦球场迎战状态良好的富勒姆，他们将以积极的态度开启格雷厄姆·波特的英超时代。两支球队在足总杯上的表现截然不同，西汉姆在2-1输给阿斯顿维拉后退出了比赛，而富勒姆则以4-1轻松击败沃特福德进入第四轮。

铁锤帮最近在英超的状态不稳定，最近五场比赛只赢了一场。他们在20场比赛中得到23分，排名第14位，并且在进攻端挣扎，特别是像贾罗德·鲍恩和迈克尔·安东尼奥这样的关键球员缺阵。丹尼·英斯，预计将领导进攻，将致力于结束他在门前的干燥期。波特的球队在后防线上也面临着严峻的挑战，他们在最近两场联赛对阵利物浦和曼城的比赛中丢了9球。由于阵容单薄，本赛季仅在主场赢了三场比赛，西汉姆联必须拿出强劲的表现来扭转颓势。

另一方面，富勒姆的状态非常好，在各项赛事中保持了9场不败，以30分轻松排在第九位。马尔科·席尔瓦的队员们在重大比赛中证明了他们的勇气，他们战平了阿森纳和利物浦，击败了切尔西。在Raúl吉米内斯的带领下，在富有创造力的哈里·威尔逊和亚历克斯·伊沃比的支持下，客队拥有平衡的进攻，能够困扰西汉姆联的漏洞防守。在伊萨迪奥普和卡尔文巴萨的带领下，他们稳固的防守也是他们成功的关键因素。

富勒姆的不败和出色的状态使他们成为这场比赛的热门。尽管西汉姆在格雷厄姆·波特的带领下取得了主场优势和全新的开局，但他们的进攻和伤病问题可能会使他们处于弱势。富勒姆的凝聚力和信心应该会让他们险胜。
