Tottenham vs Fulham – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

There is a London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend between Tottenham and Fulham.

Spurs drew with Roma in the Europa League during the week after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser,  with Mats Hummels netting late on for the Italians.

First-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romeo have been ruled out and the duo join injured goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario on the sidelines. Spurs’ injury list is extensive with Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison also out.

Fulham will be looking to bounce back from a humiliating 4-1 home defeat to Wolves last weekend. Marco Silva has confirmed that Joachim Andersen will miss the next few matches with a calf injury. Harrison Reed is also unavailable, while Carlos Vinicius is a doubt to feature against his former club.

Tottenham vs Fulham – Match preview and team news

Form

Tottenham: WLLWD

Spurs were dealt a blow in Europe on Thursday night as Roma netted a late leveller in North London.

In what was a frenetic contest, Ange Postecoglou’s side were on the way to an important victory after Heung-min Son and Brennan Johnson had scored either side of an Evan N’Dicka header.

But a late siege on their goal from the Italian outfit saw Fraser Forster’s net breached by Mats Hummels. The Lilywhites are still searching for consistency after recording a famous 4-0 rout away to Manchester City last weekend.

They will be attempting to register consecutive league wins for the first time since September by overcoming Fulham this weekend.

Fulham: LDWWL

The Cottagers were stunned last Saturday as Wolves put four past them at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva’s men were second-best for the majority of the contest with Matheus Cunha netting a brace for the visitors.

That result was a setback for Fulham, who were coming off the back of two successive wins over Brentford and Crystal Palace.

The West Londoners are only five points off the coveted Champions League places and a statement win over Spurs will take them a step closer to the European places.

Last Meeting: Fulham 3-0 Tottenham, Premier League, 16th March 2024

It was a resounding win for Fulham last time out as they conquered a sluggish Spurs side.

The hosts deservedly took the lead just before half-time when Rodrigo Muniz latched onto a searching cross from Antonee Robinson to drill the ball past Guglielmo Vicario.

Ange Postecoglou’s words at the break didn’t have the desired effect and Fulham went two goals to the good moments after the restart.

Sasa Lukic instinctively stuck out a boot to meet Timothy Castagne’s cross and convert his first goal for the club.

Fulham sealed the three points just past the hour mark when Muniz bundled home his second of the afternoon. Following a corner, Calvin Bassey’s shot on the turn cannoned off the crossbar and fell to the Brazilian, who had the simple task of tapping into an untended net. Marco Silva’s team held on to earn a memorable three points at Craven Cottage.
