Fulham sit in 12th position in the league table, just one position ahead of West Ham, with only a point to separate the pair.
Before international duty, Fulham left by only getting a point away to the newly-promoted side, Ipswich Town. Adama Traore scoring to equalise meant that the game finished 1-1 and it was not the result fans would have expected.
However, having only played one of their first three fixtures at home so far, Fulham will look to carry on where they last left off when they beat Leicester 2-1, thanks to goals by Emile Smith-Rowe and Alex Iwobi to seal the deal.
As for West Ham, they were beaten by reigning champions, Manchester City, 3-1 in their last match and Julen Lopetegui will want to put that game behind them and look to pick up points this time around.
Opposite to Fulham, The Hammers have only played one away game as of yet and beat Crystal Palace 2-0 and now they have the opportunity to extend their away record to two out of two.
The head-to-head record last season is one to look away from for West Ham fans as Fulham managed to beat them both times with a whopping 7-0 aggregate.
They managed to win 5-0 in this fixture last time around. With a new manager this season, West Ham fans will be hopeful that a result like that will not repeat.

Key Players
Fulham - Antonee Robinson
The American left-back has been arguably one of Fulham's best players so far. Robinson managed to get an assist in his last two games and has looked a threat when he uses his rapid pace to overlap and put dangerous crosses into the box.
As well as relying on his attacking threat to help beat West Ham, he will have to be defensively solid against star player Jarrod Bowen, who is already off to a strong start. Keeping him quiet is a must if they are to come out on top against the away team.
West Ham - Jarrod Bowen
There are many talented players within the West Ham squad after a brilliant summer window where they strengthened their squad, but our pick is Jarrod Bowen. Bowen was re-called back up to the England squad in the international break after new head coach, Lee Carsley, took over from Gareth Southgate.
The right-winger has already got off the mark, scoring two goals in three games this season and was the reason Ruben Dias scored an own goal in the game against Man City.
It will be an intense battle up against Robinson, who will have the better of his opponent in pace. West Ham will need Bowen to continue his streak of scoring if they are to come and beat Fulham at their home ground.
