West Ham vs Fulham | Premier League 25/26 - Matchday 18 | Full Match | FC 26 - PS5™[4K]

West Ham United welcome Fulham in Matchday 18 of the Premier League 2025–2026 season in what promises to be a tense London derby with relegation implications written all over it.

Fulham arrive at the London Stadium full of confidence after back-to-back victories against Burnley and Nottingham Forest, two direct relegation rivals. Those wins have helped Marco Silva’s side open up a 10-point gap over West Ham, giving them some breathing space above the drop zone. However, with the season only halfway through, that cushion is far from guaranteeing safety, and Fulham know that every point remains vital in the battle to survive.

For West Ham, the situation is far more alarming. The Hammers are enduring a worrying run of form, having failed to taste victory in their last six league matches. That poor sequence has dragged them into the bottom three, where pressure continues to mount with each passing week. Playing at home offers some hope, but confidence is fragile and mistakes have been costly.

History does offer West Ham a reason to believe. In the last 15 meetings between the two sides, the Hammers have enjoyed a clear upper hand, winning nine times, drawing three, and losing only three. Yet past records may count for little in this encounter. Fulham’s recent momentum contrasts sharply with West Ham’s struggles, and current form suggests a far more balanced—and dangerous—contest than the statistics imply.

With pride, survival, and crucial Premier League points on the line, this clash could define the trajectory of both teams’ seasons. For West Ham, it may be a must-win to revive their campaign; for Fulham, an opportunity to deliver a potentially decisive blow to a direct rival in the relegation race.
