West Ham United and Fulham have gone into half time goalless following a scrappy first half at Upton Park.

The Hammers almost took the lead in the 10th minute when a free kick was directed towards goal by Modibo Maiga, only to come back off the post.

West Ham threatened from another set piece in the 19th minute, with James Collins getting up for a header, which drifted narrowly wide of the post.

A acrobatic effort from Kevin Nolan on the stroke of half time failed to test Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, and the two sides went into the break tied at 0-0.
