Fulham owner Mohamed Al Fayed says he sticks two fingers up to West Ham's complaint about the Fulham team which lost 2-0 last week to Hull.

And the Premier League are set to back the Fulham chairman by rejecting the claim from West Ham that the six changes made by manager Roy Hodgson for the Hull game broke rules about fielding weakened teams.

Fayed said: 'I stick two fingers up to West Ham. If they don't like the team we had in this match, then I don't care.'

'Only our manager chooses the players. We can pick whoever we want and it's nothing to do with them.' Making a point: Mohamed Al Fayed says Fulham can pick whatever team they like.

The Premier League gave Wolves a suspended fine of £25,000 after manager Mick McCarthy selected an understrength team for a game at Manchester United which most people expected them to lose.

But it is understood that they will not take similar action against Fulham, who are currently suing West Ham for half a million pounds in lost prize money from the 2006-07 season, in the continuing fallout from the Carlos Tevez affair.

Fulham forward Clint Dempsey believes the Premier League would be right to reject West Ham's complaint. 'I was in the side that lost at Hull and I don't feel like a weak player,' said Fulham forward Clint Dempsey.

'I felt strong and confident during that game and tried to get the job done. What West Ham are saying is disrespectful to me.
