Tottenham Hotspur return to North London on Saturday evening, desperate to restore pride after a bruising week.
Thomas Frank’s side were humbled 4-1 by Arsenal in the derby and followed that up with a chaotic 5-3 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. However, they face a Fulham side arriving with renewed optimism. Marco Silva’s men ended a difficult run with a gritty 1-0 victory over Sunderland last weekend.

Team News
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are navigating a defensive headache with captain Cristian Romero suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season. Consequently, Kevin Danso is expected to partner Micky van de Ven in central defence. Thomas Frank confirmed no new injuries from the PSG defeat, but the treatment room remains crowded with Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski still out. On a positive note, Brennan Johnson returns after his European suspension.
Fulham
Marco Silva welcomes back midfielder Saša Lukić from suspension to bolster the engine room. However, the Cottagers are without first-choice left-back Antonee Robinson due to injury. Ryan Sessegnon or Timothy Castagne will likely deputise. Striker Rodrigo Muniz is a long-term absentee, meaning Raúl Jiménez will continue to lead the line.
Form
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs sit ninth in the Premier League on 18 points. Their form has nosedived at a critical time, stalling the momentum they built in early November. While their home form has been generally solid, they have conceded nine goals in their last two competitive matches against Arsenal and PSG.
Fulham
Fulham find themselves 15th but steadied the ship with a vital 1-0 win over Sunderland last weekend. It was their first clean sheet in five matches. However, their away record remains a major concern. The Cottagers are yet to win on the road this season (D2 L3) and have struggled to convert possession into goals away from Craven Cottage.
Predicted Lineups
Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur; Johnson, Simons, Kudus; Richarlison
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Iwobi, Chukwueze; Jimenez
