West Ham will host Fulham this Tuesday, Sept. 15, at London Stadium for the third round of the FA Cup.
The team managed by Nuno Espírito Santo qualified for the third round of the Cup after defeating Southampton 4-1 in the second round on Aug. 25. On that occasion, the Hammers’ goals were scored by Joshua Ajala in the 41st and 53rd minutes, Valentín Castellanos in the 75th minute, and Jarrod Bowen in the 84th minute.
West Ham arrive in the best possible form for this matchup after convincingly defeating Wrexham 6-0 in the most recent Championship matchday on Sept. 11. The six goals from Nuno’s team were scored by different players. Bowen scored in the 28th minute, and Joel Piroe in the 37th. Konstantinos Mavropanos made it 3-0 in the 48th minute, and Castellanos made it 4-0 in the 63rd minute. Mohamadou Kanté scored in the 76th minute, and Manor Solomon in the 82nd.
West Ham currently lead the Championship with 14 points after seven matches, with four wins, two draws, and one defeat.
Fulham, meanwhile, are not enjoying such a sweet moment, although in their last matchup they took a point from Liverpool with a 0-0 draw on Sept. 12.
To qualify for this stage of the competition, Fulham defeated AFC Wimbledon 3-0 on Aug. 27 in the second round of the Cup, with goals from Emile Smith Rowe in the 37th minute, Rodrigo Muniz in the 43rd minute and Gonzalo García in the 90th minute.
