West Ham endured a tricky start to their Premier League campaign, with the fixture schedule not being kind to them, but significant improvements have been shown in more recent matches.
The Hammers started December off perfectly by emerging triumphant in a trip to Newcastle and then responded with back-to-back home victories against Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, surging up the league standings as a result.
It has given Manuel Pellegrini’s side the perfect platform to build upon during the busy festive season that lies ahead and the Hammers are aiming to continue their winning streak this weekend when they tackle Fulham – who are currently rock-bottom of the division.
While West Ham will the favourites, many fans are not getting ahead of themselves and have urged their side to remain focused to avoid slipping up against their fellow London side – although there is a sense of confidence amongst them.
We have gathered some of their comments below.
Please don’t do a West Ham and suddenly forget how to play. We seem like on of the few teams who destroy our own confidence. Please prove me wrong!

Fulham are no mugs and Claudio is a canny coach will block us out and frustrate us into taking too many chances …. should be a good game …. close call too, but on form Hammers should edge it ….
