Tottenham v Fulham

Tottenham vs Fulham Preview

Tottenham will head into this upcoming clash against Fulham on Sunday lunchtime at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in confident mood having toppled the Premier League title-holders Manchester City 4-0 away from home at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday.

Fulham meanwhile will be keen to bounce back from an unexpected and somewhat shocking 4-1 defeat at home to Wolves last weekend as The Cottagers make the short journey across London to take on their north London rivals.

Following their emphatic 4-0 win over Manchester City, Tottenham now occupy sixth place in the Premier League table where they trail the European spots by just a three-point margin, thanks to picking up five wins from their last eight matches overall in the English top flight.

Tottenham's form and results this season have been notoriously inconsistent and includes slipping to recent defeats at the hands of Brighton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town but nevertheless, Spurs have posted five important victories in recent weeks as well which have outweighed the disappointments.

Important wins against Brentford, Manchester United, West Ham, Aston Villa and the aforementioned Manchester City should give the north London hosts plenty of reasons to be upbeat about their chances when they play host to Fulham on Sunday lunchtime.

Fulham's three-match unbeaten sequence in the Premier League was brought to a crashing halt last weekend when The Cottagers were dealt a heavy 4-1 thrashing by Wolves at Craven Cottage which has resulted in the visitors dropping down the table to ninth place.

Fulham had previously picked up a point in a 1-1 draw away from home Everton followed by back-to-back wins against Brentford and Crystal Palace respectively, so to lose so heavily to a lowly Wolves outfit at home would have been a bitter pill to swallow for Marco Silva's side.

Marco Silva will therefore undoubtedly be demanding a response from his players on Sunday lunchtime and having lost just three of their last 11 matches overall in the Premier League, Fulham know they have a decent chance of getting something out of this upcoming encounter against a Tottenham side who blow hot or cold.

However, Fulham's successes on the road in the English top flight have been limited to claiming just five wins from their previous 24 outings on the road whilst also being handed 11 defeats within this period as well, including a previous 2-0 loss away at Tottenham.

Tottenham v Fulham Verdict

Tottenham have held the upper hand over Fulham in previous encounters in the Premier League as Spurs have won four out of the last five meetings between the two sides and the hosts look the more likely to take the spoils in this upcoming clash as well.
