Graham Potter has a massive job on his hands, as West Ham United are truly a massive mess right now. They just got dumped out of the FA Cup on Friday, suffering a one-and-done appearance as they entered the tournament in the third round. Now they welcome in a Fulham FC side that is undefeated in their last nine, across all competitions.

Although, to be fair, only three of those results were wins. Still, Potter is likely going to stay awake at night worrying about where his scoring is going to come from.
Way too many of the guys who are tasked with banging in the goals are injured right now.
