Following their impressive win over a poor Ipswich side on Saturday, the Hammers must not get complacent in any way. West Ham's away form is still really poor, and even though we are playing Fulham, who have only got 4 points out of the last 18, West Ham still have a tough fixture.
Although there were no injuries on Saturday, and both the substitutions were tactical, and unforced, Glenn may decide to play Vladimir Labant instead of Nigel Winterburn.
At 38, it takes that much longer to recover after a match, and Glenn may decide to play younger legs instead, and five him a rest. Ian Pearce may well get a run out this afternoon when Glenn attempts to take the load of Repka and Dailly, who will still not have completely recovered following 90 minutes on Saturday.
The midfield is expected to line up the same as it did at the weekend, as is up front. Roeder recently defended his use of Jermain Defoe as a super sub, and will probably use him as such again today.
West Ham lost their second home of the season to Fulham, following a great run of form in which we beat Ipswich Town away, and the Saints and Chelsea at home. With Fulham one of the easier of the four, we lost 2-0 in a very poor performance from then Irons.
Looking back though, it was 1966 when Fulham last took three points off West Ham at Craven Cottage. But the teams haven't played each other for over twenty years, so a look at the results between the two sides is not really that useful.
A win today could see the Hammers jumping up to 7th place - the highest they will have been under Glenn Roeder. A loss, and a drop down to 12th isn't out of the question. Although the Hammers have a game in hand, the opposition for that fixture is Arsenal at Highbury, so points against lesser teams are a must.
