TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

James Maddison scored twice as Tottenham romped to victory over a Manchester City side that has now lost five games in a row for the first time since 2006. Pedro Porro drove home a third before Brennan Johnson added a last minute fourth on an incredible night that saw the end of City's 52-match unbeaten record at Etihad Stadium, stretching back to just before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. 

Quite how a side can go from being beaten at home by struggling Ipswich to inflicting this kind of shattering blow to the four-time champions on their own patch is open to debate but this game will go down in Spurs folklore. In their midweek fixture, they managed to nick a point off struggling Roma. Such has been Ange’s team’s performances, from sudden victories to sudden losses to draws.

Tottenham have lost just one of their last 14 Premier League home games against Fulham (W10 D3). Tottenham have lost seven of their 16 Premier League London derbies under Ange Postecoglou (W6 D3) – of managers to take charge of at least 10 such games for the club, only Glenn Hoddle (48%) has a higher loss rate than the Australian (44%). 

Tottenham have alternated between victory (4) and defeat (3) in their last seven Premier League matches, beating Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad last time out. Tottenham have scored 3+ goals in more different Premier League games than any other side so far this season, doing so in six of their 12 matches. They’ve only failed to score at all in two games, though both of those were in London derby defeats (0-1 v Arsenal, 0-1 v Crystal Palace).

Player to watch out for

Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski has created more chances than any other player in the Premier League this season (33), while his three assists so far are as many as he managed in 36 appearances last term.

Injury - Odobert, van de Ven, Richarlison, Moore, Romero and Vicario are all ruled out. 

Spurs Probable Starting Lineup - Forster (GK), Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray (DEF), Kulusevski, Sarr, Maddison (MID) Johnson, Solanke, Son (FWD).

Fulham FC Preview

Fulham were aiming to win three successive top-flight games for the first time since January 2023 - but were unable to build on their promising start at Craven Cottage. They got hammered by Wolves and a spirited Matheus Cunha. And with games against Tottenham, Brighton, Arsenal and Liverpool coming up in the first half of December, Fulham fans can be forgiven for viewing this as a missed opportunity.

Fulham won 3-0 against Spurs in their last Premier League meeting in March, ending a nine-game winless run against them (D1 L8). They last won consecutive games against Spurs between August 2003 and October 2004 (3). Fulham are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League London derbies (W4 D3), winning the last two in a row. 

In their top-flight history, they’ve never gone eight without defeat before, while only twice previously have they won three in a row. No team is on a longer scoring streak in the Premier League this season than Fulham, with their 11-game run their joint-longest ever in the competition. Only Brentford (14) have dropped more points from winning positions in the Premier League than Fulham (13) this season, while only Man City (13) and Aston Villa (11) have won more from behind than Spurs (9).

Player to look out for 

Fulham’s Andreas Pereira has created more chances from set play than other players in the Premier League this season (22). However, Fulham are the only side yet to score from a set-piece situation in the competition this season (excluding penalties).

Injury - No reported injuries. 

Fulham Probable Starting Lineup - Leno (GK), Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson (DEF), Pereira, Lukic, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Nelson (MID) Jimenez (FWD).

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

Spurs were lethal last week. They annihilated Man City at their home turf. But, the issue doesn’t lie with potential but with consistency. If they are to challenge for top 4 or the title, they will want to dig deep and grab all three points. That’s what City, Arsenal and Liverpool chase week in, week out. Fulham are equally as dangerous as Spurs on the front foot. There will be goals in this one.
