West Ham United preview: Changes may need to be made
Although sustaining no further injuries against Liverpool, Nuno Espirito Santo may look to make changes in order to freshen things up in an attempt to get his side back to winning ways and out of the Premier League relegation zone. Freddie Potts remains out through suspension, and Pablo Felipe's calf injury will keep him on the sidelines. Adama Traore and Calum Wilson could be called upon this Wednesday night.
Predicted lineup: Hermansen (GK); Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf; Bowen, Soucek, M. Fernandes, Summerville, Traore; Wilson
Last five results:

- Burnley 0-2 West Ham
Player to watch: Harry Wilson
Welsh winger Harry Wilson has been directly involved in 15 goals in the Premier League so far this season, with nine goals and six assists. The last Fulham player to record more in a single campaign was Dimitar Berbatov in the 2012-13 season when he recorded 18 goal involvements with 15 goals and three assists.
The Wrexham-born attacker is one of the first names on the team sheet for Fulham these days and will hope to make an impact against their London rivals.
