Fulham vs Tottenham Tips & Preview - Spurs’ Chance To Break Into The Top Four

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Craven Cottage with their eyes firmly set on a Champions League spot in the Premier League table. They have played one game less than fourth-placed Aston Villa and are just two points behind them, meaning that a victory will see Spurs leapfrog Villa into fourth place. Last weekend, they secured an emphatic 0-4 victory at Villa Park to close the gap from five points to two.

Fulham, meanwhile, are eyeing another top-ten finish in the Premier League. They are in amazing form this season, securing a 2-1 victory against Manchester United just a couple of weeks ago, followed by a 3-0 thumping of Brighton at home. Marco Silva’s men have won six of their last ten home games. However, they were handed an unfortunate defeat away from home by Wolverhampton Wanderers over the last weekend. 

Both teams have won three of their last five games in all competitions, with Fulham having lost the remaining two, whereas Tottenham hav lost just one. Silva’s side has managed to win just three of their last ten games in all competitions. 

Spurs have a long injury list and will be missing Richarlison, Ryan Sessegnon, Fraser Forster, and Manor Solomon. Micky van de Ven is also doubtful for this game with a hamstring injury picked up at Villa Park. Meanwhile, Fulham will most likely see their star player Raul Jimenez return. 

The last 16 encounters between these two teams in the Premier League have yielded 14 victories for Tottenham Hotspur. It is also interesting to note that there have been no draws between these two in their last five meetings. 

Tottenham’s Heung Min Son has created the second-most big chances in the Premier League season, with his tally at 16. Given Fulham’s poor record against Spurs, the oddsmakers predict a closely contested game between the two on Saturday,but the money is on Spurs to bag all three points with a slim victory.
