West Ham’s battle to retain their Premier League status continues with a trip to a Fulham side at risk of surrendering any hope of qualifying for Europe.

The Cottagers have enjoyed a strong season, but a four-match winless league run, including defeats in the last three, has left them in 10th place and seven points outside the top six.

West Ham showed encouraging signs by picking up four points against Aston Villa and Southampton, but a 5-1 home defeat to Newcastle in midweek was a confidence-smasher and leaves them teetering above the relegation zone only on goal difference.

David Moyes’ side won the first meeting of the season between the sides, though, a 3-1 victory in London in October.

Kick-off is at 3.000pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League (opens in new tab) wherever you are.

VPN guide

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
