What is at stake between West Ham and Fulham?

Festive fixtures have not been very kind for West Ham, who have battled against high-flying Aston Villa and Manchester City in their last two outings.

While the Irons gave Villa a run for their money, they were hopelessly out of depth against City as they succumbed to a 3-0 thumping at the Etihad Stadium.

Nuno Espirito Santo and his men are now in the relegation zone, sitting five points from safety heading into Saturday's encounter.

Fulham, on the other hand, are coming into this game on the back of successive Premier League victories over Nottingham Forest and Burnley.

A third straight success could push the Cottagers into European contention, which would mark a significant step forward for the club this season.
