Fulham and West Ham United are one place apart in the English Premier League table and Saturday’s London Derby could provide the spark that both teams need.
Antonee Robinson should be fresh and ready to go when the Cottagers host the Hammers at Craven Cottage. The U.S. men’s national team left back was not chosen for international duty this month, given a needed break by interim head coach Mikey Varas. Robinson has been impactful through the early stages of Fulham’s season, registering two assists and helping them earn four points out of nine available.
Fulham did the double over West Ham last season and a first head-to-head win of the 2024-25 season would be welcomed ahead of a busy conclusion to September’s schedule.
In England, Brenden Aaronson and Luca Koleosho clash as Leeds United faces Burnley. Chris Richards and Crystal Palace host Leicester City.
