West Ham United will head to West London on Saturday to face Fulham in their Premier League match.
West Ham have had a mixed start to the season, losing two and winning one of their first three games, while Fulham currently sit just one point and one place above them in the standings.
The expectations are high for the West Ham head coach at the London Stadium. The Spaniard is reportedly still pursuing potential free transfers, suggesting that exciting developments may be on the horizon for the Hammers. However, securing a positive result against Fulham this week is crucial.
A loss would put West Ham in a difficult position early in the season. Adding to the challenge, West Ham have been handed a setback with the appointment of Tim Robinson as the referee for the Fulham match. Robinson’s previous performances, including a controversial showing in the West Ham vs Bournemouth game last February, have left much to be desired.
Robinson, who also made questionable decisions as a VAR official in the Nottingham Forest clash last season, has overseen three West Ham games with mixed results: one draw, one loss, and one win. He issued three yellow cards to West Ham players in those matches.
West Ham fans will be hoping for a better performance from Robinson this time. A win against Fulham is essential, but it will be challenging if the referee does not meet the expected standards.
