History of the West Ham United v Fulham fixture

Fulham face a trip to West Ham United at Boleyn Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 10 of the 41 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premier League match.
