West Ham vs. Fulham prediction
Fulham have had a poor start to their Premier League campaign, losing three and drawing one of their opening four games. The cup could be a chance for Arbeloa to get confidence back into his side. However, they face an in-form West Ham side.
Fulham could rest players, as they did against AFC Wimbledon in the previous round. The Hammers have also done so in the competition so far. However, they will want to make a good account of themselves against Premier League opposition. Also, Nuno Espírito Santo will not want his side to lose momentum. Therefore, he could still field his strongest side.
