SlipsTips shares a pair of selections ahead of Fulham's clash with West Ham in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Fulham vs West Ham (Wednesday, 19:30)
Fulham and West Ham will lock horns in an all-London Premier League clash at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.
Marco Silva's hosts will be targeting a third top-flight triumph in succession after claiming a 2-1 victory over Tottenham last time out.
As for West Ham, they will be looking to bounce back and boost their bid to beat the drop following a heavy 5-2 loss away at Liverpool last Saturday.
Given where the two teams currently find themselves in the Premier League standings, it's no surprise to see Fulham come into this London derby as general even-money (1/1) favourites with most firms.
However, I'm going to bypass the 1×2 betting here and instead turn my attention to a player-based selection that has caught my eye.
Crysencio Summerville is as big as 10/11 on bet365 to register a minimum of one shot on target on Wednesday night, and that looks particularly enticing.
The West Ham forward has arguably been his team's standout performer in the Premier League this season, and he's certainly not afraid when it comes to trying his luck in front of goal.
That is underlined by the fact that Summerville has remarkably hit the target in each of his last 10 outings for the Hammers across all competitions.
That return is made all the more impressive given the fact that Summerville has hit the target away from home against the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea, and most recently Liverpool last weekend.
While Fulham are beginning to tick along nicely again following back-to-back victories over Sunderland and Spurs, they did concede in both of those games and they've not been watertight at the back throughout the campaign.
It would also be fair to say that West Ham are in greater need of the points here, which only adds to the appeal of backing Summerville to continue his impressive shots on target streak on Wednesday night.
On a similar line of reasoning to the above, the 5/6 on Betway for Summerville to just attempt two or more shots in this capital clash also offers value.
The in-form 24-year-old has averaged 2.09 shots per game in the Premier League this season.
A closer look shows that the Dutch ace has delivered two or more shots in six of his last seven top-flight outings, including each of his last four appearances away from the London Stadium.
