Tottenham vs Fulham Preview:
After Saturday’s round of fixtures, Fulham are currently 13th in the table with three wins and three losses from their opening eight league games.
While Spurs will be looking to go back to the top of the table if they win their seventh game of the season.
Maintaining their return to the top of the tree could be relatively straight forward against an inconsistent Fulham side.
The Cottagers are struggling to find rhythm this season, backing up each victory with a slip-up. Marco Silva’s men are yet to win back-to-back games, whether that’s in the Premier League or across all competitions.
Perhaps the one slight positive for Fulham is the fact they’re the only team to have picked up a win over Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham.
Silva’s men dumped Spurs out of the Carabao Cup last August with a win on penalties. It’s difficult to say how seriously Tottenham took that fixture, though a win is a win, nonetheless.
Postecoglou will draft in Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg for his first Premier League start of the season, due to Yves Bissouma’s one-match ban for his red card at Luton.
While Hojbjerg has only started once this season in the Carabao Cup, he has been introduced in seven of Spurs’ eight league fixtures and become a key figure off the bench for his new head coach.
The Fulham manager confirmed that there are no fresh injuries from the international break, but Issa Diop is now sidelined along with Adama Traore, Kenny Tete and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Diop sustained an injury in the Sheffield United clash and was substituted, but Silva acknowledged how important the defender is in terms of carrying the ball forward on the attack.
In spite of the Carabao Cup sole slip-up, we’re backing Spurs to turn on the style at home and end Monday night as Premier League leaders.
Tottenham have lost just one of 17 Premier League games with Fulham and we don’t expect their fortunes to change.
Spurs to win to nil is the way to go in the betting.
Prediction:
- Tottenham to win to nil
- Both teams to score – no
- Tottenham to score in both halves
