Scenario Explanation

1 draw, relying on Jarrod Bowen’s counter-attacking threat. A high-scoring Fulham blowout (15%) is possible if West Ham's morale collapses early as it did against Liverpool, but Nuno Espírito Santo's pragmatic setup usually prevents total capitulation in derbies.

Injuries & Absentees

Fulham faces a late fitness test for influential winger Harry Wilson (ankle), with Samuel Chukwueze ready to start. However, the return of center-back Joachim Andersen from illness is a massive boost to stabilize their backline.
