Head-to-head
Fulham have only won one of their eight Premier League visits to Upton Park. That came in the first-ever Premier League meeting between the two clubs on 3 November 2001 (a 2-0 win, with Sylvain Legwinski and Steed Malbranque the goal-scorers).
The highest-scoring match between the two clubs was at Upton Park in 1968, when West Ham won 7-2 on 3 February.
West Ham took four points off Fulham when they were last in the Premier League (in the 2010/11 season).
West Ham
They have only lost two of their past 23 competitive fixtures in all competitions.
The Hammers won just five of their 19 home matches the last time they were in the Premier League (2010/11).
Since the start of last season, Hammers captain Kevin Nolan has never gone more than four games without scoring.
Fulham
Fulham have only won 30 of their 210 Premier League away matches (the fewest wins of any club to have played at least 150 away matches in the division).
The Cottagers have drawn just one of their past 17 Premier League matches.
With two goals from two games, Irish winger Damien Duff has already matched his Premier League goals total for last season (when he made 23 starts).
I was impressed by West Ham on Saturday. Andy Carroll was a great addition for that team. Seems that Fulham was really missing something, especially in their link up between the midfield and attack.
