West Ham United scored a major win last night, pulling off an upset victory at Tottenham Hotspur. Not much time to celebrate that, however, as another road London derby will soon be upon us! For the short trip to Craven Cottage, the Hammers only have two injury concerns: striker Michail Antonio is STILL out with a knee problem while central defender Kurt Zouma is a doubt for Sunday due to personal reasons.
Other than that, it is all Irons in the fire right now.

For the hosts, there are no fresh injury concerns, but there is a trio of missing players in Adama Traore (hamstring), Issa Diop (foot) and Rodrigo Muniz (knee). The visitors will once again look to make the home crowd exit early and disappointed, just like they did last night in north London.
Here is southwest London though, who knows what might happen- this is a very even match-up on paper.
