Supercomputer predicts what'll happen in West Ham United vs Fulham

West Ham United will look to carry their impressive Championship form into the Carabao Cup when they face Fulham in midweek.

The Hammers have won four league matches on the spin to find themselves top of the division on goal difference.

West Ham thumped Wrexham 6-0 on Friday night to leave supporters excited about what else is to come this season.

That could potentially include a cup run, with Premier League strugglers Fulham the Irons' third-round opponents in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Fulham have yet to win a league game under Alvaro Arbeloa, though they did pick up their first point in four attempts with a goalless draw at Liverpool on Saturday.

While the London rivals may now be in different divisions, only three places separates the sides in the English football pyramid.

What is supercomputer predicting for West Ham vs Fulham?

After a slow start to the campaign, Nuno Espirito Santo's men are now flying.

Fulham will be pleased with their point on Merseyside, meanwhile, but they have been far from impressive this season.

And Opta Analyst's supercomputer makes West Ham favourites for this clash, albeit only just.

West Ham are given a 37 per cent chance of winning, compared to 36 per cent for Fulham.

The draw has a 26 per cent likelihood of happening, which would mean extra time and potentially penalties to determine a winner on the night.

Given how slim the margins are, it could be argued a draw after 90 minutes is the most likely outcome.

Supercomputer updates West Ham's title chances

Going up automatically this season is the only goal for Nuno.

West Ham may be top, but only three points separates themselves and Wolves down in seventh.

Still, going off results and performances over the past few weeks, there is no reason why the Hammers cannot build up a gap on the chasing pack.

The same supercomputer fully expects West Ham to finish top of the pile in the Championship.

United are predicted to finish with around 83 points and are given a 29.26 per cent chance of winning the title.

Middlesbrough are projected to finish second, with a 22.14 per cent chance of finishing top.

Football is played on the field, though, and West Ham will have to ensure they last the distance.
