Latest: West Ham 0 Fulham 0 – Hammers well on top at Upton Park
Fulham were saved by the woodwork in what has been a one-sided derby so far at Upton Park.
With both teams’ under-pressure managers needing a victory, West Ham dominated the early stages and almost went ahead when Mark Noble’s right-wing free-kick was headed against the post by Modibo Maiga.
Martin Jol’s Fulham, who have lost four matches in a row, were also relieved to see James Collins’ header from a corner drift wide.
Adel Taarabt started for the Whites in place of the absent Dimitar Berbatov and the visitors are again without the injured Brede Hangeland.
Fulham (4-4-1-1): Stekelenburg; Zverotic, Hughes, Amorebieta, Richardson; Duff, Sidwell, Parker, Kasami; Taarabt; Bent.
Subs: Stockdale, Senderos, Ruiz, Kacaniklic, Karagounis, Boateng, Dembele.
