West Ham tonight take on Fulham in what is Graham Potters first game at the London Stadium as Head Coach.

The former Brighton boss took over from the very disappointing Julen Lopetegui last week, which already feels like has lifted the mood significantly in east London.

Potter though hasn’t been dealt the easiest of hands, with a somewhat injury crisis at present, as the club look to bolster the squad this January.

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has given his view of how he sees the match unfolding tonight, with a fierce atmosphere expected to help give Potter the best chance of a win on home soil.

“Graham Potter’s aim will be to win his first home game as West Ham boss, but I am not sure where his side’s goals are going to come from,” stated Sutton.

“The Hammers were already short up front and now Nicklas Fullkrug has been sidelined by a hamstring injury. He was one of the players I said people should watch out for this season, but that has turned out the way most of my predictions do.

“Fulham are a good team, but some of their recent results have been a bit strange.

“They are eight league games unbeaten and safely into round four of the FA Cup but that run includes a couple of home draws, against Southampton and Ipswich, where I expected them to win.

“I am still erring more towards a Fulham win than towards West Ham but, because Marco Silva’s side have turned into draw specialists, I am going to go for another draw here too.” Sutton’s prediction: 1-1
