Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri has no doubts West Ham are responding to their manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Ranieri believes West Ham have adapted to Pellegrini's coaching after the Hammers lost their opening four league fixtures.

"He [Pellegrini] is doing very well. He suffered a little at the beginning but that is normal when you change manager. There is always a period where you must adapt," Ranieri, whose side face West Ham next, said.

"They met all the big teams at the beginning but now the players understand his philosophy. They are playing well and scoring goals. They're a good team."
