It's Premier League Cup Quarter-Final time for our Under-23s, who head across London to face a strong West Ham United side.
Steve Wigley's boys face the young Hammers on Friday evening, with kick-off at 7pm.
Form
West Ham:
It's been an eventful couple of seasons for Mark Robson's side. They struggled during their first campaign after promotion into Division One, but after a remarkable turnaround, they now battle towards the top of the table and only Manchester City sit above them.
Their journey towards this point in the cup has been fairly straightforward so far. They cruised through their group before recently putting Leeds United to the sword in the Round of 16, smashing them 5-1 to progress.
Fulham:
It's fair to say the young Whites have transferred their league form into the cup so far. Similarly to Friday's opposition, our lads comfortably qualified from their group and dished out a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the previous knockout round.
Last Time Out
December 2019 was the last time these two sides met, and it was a pretty dramatic league encounter at Motspur Park. After fighting back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3, we had become only the second team to take points off West Ham at that stage of the season. Our goals came from Jay Stansfield, Fabio Carvalho and Timmy Abraham.
Revisit all of that action below.
Player Thoughts
Adrion Pajaziti is looking forward to what will be a great challenge in East London.
"Definitely, it's very exciting. We are looking forward to the test ahead and it's always good to be involved in the latter stages of a cup competition as there’s always that extra edge because there's something on the line.
"They're a very physical, good side and have lots of older and more experienced players so it should be a good challenge."
One trophy is an achievement in itself, but two would mean the world to Adrion and his teammates.
"It would mean a lot to cap off a great season with two pieces of silverware," he admitted. "That would just show how much we have progressed as individuals and as a team.
"If we work hard and play as a collective and do the things that have got us success all season such as pressing and running hard, we believe we can beat anyone."
