West Ham United have announced that they will face Fulham in a mid-season friendly against Premier League and London rivals Fulham.
After Saturday’s meeting with Leicester City in the Premier League, the Hammers are not due back in competitive action until Boxing Day (December 26) when they take on Arsenal in their first league game back from the World Cup break.
David Moyes’ side will be in friendly action before then though, having already announced a fixture against League One side Cambridge United on Tuesday, December 6. Should West Ham win their Carabao Cup tie with Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night, they will also be in fourth round action before Christmas, with that game scheduled for either December 20 or 21.
