Graham Potter looking to recover from opening defeat ahead of Premier League London derby
West Ham are looking to respond after defeat in Graham Potter’s first game in charge when they host Fulham in the Premier League this week.
The Hammers were knocked out of the FA Cup at the third round stage following a 2-1 loss at Aston Villa on Friday night, despite taking the lead.
Potter was only appointed as Julen Lopetegui’s successor on Thursday, so quite how much can be taken from that particular game remains to be seen.
Fulham, on the other hand, recovered from their frustrating 2-2 draw with Ipswich last weekend by thrashing Watford 4-1 in the cup on Thursday night.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
West Ham vs Fulham is scheduled for a 7.30pm GMT kick-off time on Tuesday 14 January 2024.
The London Stadium will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 4.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Discovery+ app.
West Ham are already without Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio and saw their lack of firepower worsened on Friday night.
Niclas Fullkrug came off injured with what appeared to be a hamstring issue, while Crysencio Summerville also “pulled up”.

Jean-Clair Todibo missed the game after suffering an injury against Manchester City earlier this month, while Lukasz Fabianski could return after going through concussion protocols.
Fulham will assess Rodrigo Muniz after he came off at half-time against Watford but hope to welcome back Sander Berge. Reiss Nelson and Kenny Tete will not make the game.
Fulham will fancy their chances against a West Ham side still so early into Potter’s tenure.
