Nuno Espirito Santo's record vs Fulham assessed ahead of West Ham Carabao Cup showdown

Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping to get his second win against Fulham as West Ham United boss on Tuesday.

The Hammers host the Cottagers at the London Stadium in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The Irons beat Fulham last time the two sides met, as a 1-0 win came courtesy of a Crysencio Summerville strike at Craven Cottage.

But the one time that the Cottagers visited E20 while Nuno was in charge, they went back home with three points after a 1-0 win themselves.

The Hammers are now a Championship side trying to get back into the Premier League, and while Fulham have had early struggles under Alvaro Arbeloa, this game will be seen by them as one they can win.

But what is the usual trend when Nuno faces off against Fulham, according to history?

Nuno's record vs Fulham assessed

Nuno is a seasoned manager in England, having had roles with the likes of Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Wolves.

He's come up against Fulham plenty of times over the last couple of years, but the majority of the time, he emerges victorious.

Nuno has managed against the Cottagers 11 times, and won six of those games.

One of which was a draw, while the other four matches were losses, and so he has a 1.73 points-per-game ratio against them.

But this is a cup match, and things will be different; teams will be rotated, and there may be a difference in desire to win on one of the sides.

Either way, West Ham have a slight boost of confidence in knowing that Nuno gets the better of Fulham more often than not.

But who else connected to the Hammers likes a fixture against Fulham?

Jarrod Bowen makes his mark every other game vs Fulham

Jarrod Bowen is in fine form for West Ham and is on track to win the Championship Player of the Year award if he continues.

He pledged his future to the Hammers well before the transfer deadline to shut down rumours of him leaving the London Stadium early, vowing to get the club back to the big time.

Bowen has played 12 times against Fulham in all competitions in his career.

He has six goal involvements against the Cottagers, meaning he makes his mark every one in two games.

He's also only lost 25 per cent of his games against Fulham, and will be looking to impose himself on Arbeola's side.
