Spurs, unbeaten in the league, host 13th place Fulham in Monday night’s Premier League football offering.
Marco Silva’s men are the only side to beat Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham so far this season, defeating their London rivals in a Carabao Cup second-round penalty shootout in August.
Here we bring you the latest team news, match prediction and betting tips.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Spurs are without Yves Bissouma for this match, who is serving a one match ban following his red card against Luton Town last time out. He’s joined on the absentee list by Rodrigo Bentancur (knee injury), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring injury), Manor Solomon (knee injury), Ivan Perisic (knee injury) and Alfie Whitemann (ankle injury).
Brennan Johnson is hopeful to return to the side after the hamstring injury he picked up in September’s North London derby.
Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup:
Vicario, Udogie, Van de Ven, Romero, Porro, Hojbjerg, Sarr, Richarlison, Maddison, Kulusevski, Son
Fulham Team News
Fulham head into the game without Issa Diop (foot injury), Kenny Tete (groin injury), Adama Traore (thigh injury) and Tosin Adarabioyo (groin injury).
Fulham Predicted Lineup:
Leno, Robinson, Ream, Bassey, Castagne, Pereira, Palhinha, Reed, Willian, Vinicius, Cordova-Reid
Match Prediction
Spurs have started the season in phenomenal league form and have the chance to go 2 points clear at the top of the table. Fulham meanwhile have struggled for consistency and although they have won three games this season, they’ve also lost three and haven’t managed two wins on the bounce since May.
Spurs have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games, but nobody has yet shut them out. Fulham meanwhile have scored in three of their four games on the road, keeping just one clean sheet.
Form this season points to a comfortably Spurs win, however the international break may have interrupted the rhythm they had built, and it will be interesting to see whether they are able to pick up where they left off.
Fulham have already taken a point from North London this season, with their 2-2 draw with Arsenal providing evidence that they aren’t about to roll over, although their 5-1 hammering at the hands of Manchester City gives Ange Postecoglou a template on how to punish them.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Fulham
Betting Tips:
- Both teams to score – Yes
- Heung-Min Son to Score Anytime
- Tottenham Hotspur to Win
