No away wins this season: Three ominous Fulham stats that West Ham must avoid breaking

West Ham host Fulham tonight in a Friday evening Premier League clash between the two London sides.

Fulham travel across from West London in deep relegation trouble. With 17 points from 26 games, the Cottagers are already eight points adrift in the relegation zone.

In the corresponding meeting at Craven Cottage, West Ham won 2-0. Robert Snodgrass and Michail Antonio scored the goals on that day.

But ahead of tonight’s fixture, we look at three statistics (sourced by BBC Sport) which show just how bad Fulham have been.

West Ham need to avoid reversing these three stats in tonight’s match.

Fulham have the leakiest defence in the Premier League by some distance. With 58 goals against this season, they have shipped 10 more than any other Premier League side.

The Hammers will be hoping to inflict further pain upon Fulham’s goal difference by finding the net tonight.

Fulham are the only team in the Premier League who have not yet picked up a win on the road this season. In fact, Claudio Ranieri’s men have only picked up two points away from home this season, with 11 losses.

West Ham will be hoping to avoid becoming Fulham’s first away scalp of the season.

Fulham have had little luck against their London rivals this season, including their 2-0 loss at home to West Ham. With eight London derby losses in a row, Fulham have set a new record in the Premier League.
