Sky Sports pundit predicts West Ham Premier League clash v Fulham
Joleon Lescott predicts West Ham to continue their recent run of form and pick up a win against Fulham in the Premier League.
The two capital outfits are set to square off against each other at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Despite their good start to the season, the Sky Sports pundit expects the Cottagers to come away from their trips to the east end empty-handed.
Lescott told Livescore, “Fulham have been great to watch and always play to win but are up against a West Ham team on a high after their victory over Wolves last weekend.
“The Cottagers need to make sure their 4-1 defeat to Newcastle was just a one-off, especially given they had a man sent off.
“It’s a difficult one to call but something tells me the Hammers’ momentum has switched due to that result at the London Stadium.
“Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Fulham.”
Get the win
A win for the Hammers could even get them into the top half of the table if results elsewhere go in their favour.
After an awful start to the Premier League season, David Moyes now appears to be turning a stone at the London Stadium.
Picking up three points against Fulham would be massive and surely they will fancy their chances against Marco Silva’s men.
Gianluca Scamacca now appears to have settled and has to be the first choice to lead the attack.
There’s a good chance that Moyes leaves Tomas Soucek out of this one as he’s clearly not been at his best recently and Lucas Paqueta could partner Declan Rice in midfield.
It’s important that the Hammers start the game well and play it on their terms or they could be in for a tricky afternoon.
