The Premier League has received an official complaint from West Ham regarding Fulham's team selection against Hull City on March 27.
Roy Hodgson made six changes from the side that lost the FA Cup quarter-final to Tottenham three days previously, with Bobby Zamora, Danny Murphy and Damien Duff heading the list of players who did not make the trip to the KC Stadium.
In their absence, West Ham felt aggrieved when Fulham lost 2-0 in a result that took Hull level with the Hammers on 27 points. Hull also have a game in hand over West Ham, who currently occupy 17th place.
A number of teams have been accused of fielding weakened sides in recent seasons and the league recently took action against Wolverhampton Wanderers after Mick McCarthy made ten changes for an away game against Manchester United in December.
Wolves lost 3-0 to United and were subsequently handed a £25,000 suspended fine by the Premier League. They won their following home game against Burnley 2-0.
