Fulham Vs Tottenham Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: Sunday, March 16

Kick-off time: 13:30 GMT

Venue: Craven Cottage

Fulham are set to tussle fellow London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the Craven Cottage in round 29 action of the Premier League on Sunday. The home side will be looking to continue their unbeaten streak against the visitors.

The Cottagers after their humbling defeat against Brighton in the last match, will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways. Fulham are currently languishing in the tenth position in the overall standings after round 28 as they aim to secure European football next term. However, Marco Silva's side will have to start winning matches more consistently as they trail fifth-place Manchester City by five points for now. Their last five matches have been pretty good, having picked up three wins and two defeats. They also secured their place in the quarter-final of the FA Cup after eliminating Manchester United in a penalty shootout in the last round. Raul Jimenez is currently leading the goalscoring chart with ten goals and Antonee Robinson provides the most assists(10).

Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand, are going through one of their worst top-flight season with the team lurking in the 13th position which is very poor considering the status of the club. However, they do have the chance to win silverware this season as they progress to the quarter-final of the UEFA Europa League where they will be facing Frankfurt. Nevertheless, they have performed well in the last five matches in the league, securing three wins, one draw, and losing another while also keeping two clean sheets in the process. In the last league outing, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Manchester City and will be hoping to bounce back here. The form of Brennan Johnson and James Maddison who have scored the most goals this season with nine, and Son Heung-Min gives them an advantage here.

Fulham Team News

Fulham have a couple of injury concerns for this clash and also suspension. The injury list includes Harry Wilson (foot), Kenny Tete (knee), and Reiss Nelson (hamstring) are the players who are dealing with injury problems at the moment. Also, there is a major doubt about this clash as Adama Traore will be assessed before the match after recovering from an ankle injury. Sasa Lukic also misses out here due to suspension after receiving his tenth yellow card of the season, which will see him serve a one-match suspension.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Ange Postecoglou fielded a strong eleven against AZ Alkmaar the other day and is likely to start most of them here. The good news for him is he has almost all of the players available who were a big miss before. First-choice center backs Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven are set to keep their place here, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence completing the back four. However, they will also be without four players for this clash, Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin, Richarlison, and Dejan Kulusevski, who have been a standout this season and are currently sidelined due to injuries.

Key players to watch in Fulham Vs Tottenham Hotspur

Antonee Robinson (Fulham)

The Fulham left-back has been one of the standout performers for them this season notching up ten assists already in 28 appearances. This assists tally is more impressive considering the fact that he only provided 11 assists combined in the last four seasons which shows the incredible season he is having. However, Robinson's game is much more than attacking as he helps the team provide defensive stability due to his excellent positioning and speed through which he covers a lot of ground. So far, he has racked up 116 ball recoveries, winning 45 tackles, and making 47 interceptions while also putting four crucial blocks.

Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur)

The South Korean international has become a legend in the club due to his long-serving status, consistently delivering goals and performing at the highest level. This season is no different having already registered seven goals from 25 appearances while also laying on another nine assists. However, Son hasn't been in ruthless form in the last five matches only finding the back of the net on one occasion while providing another three assists in this time. He will be the player to look out for in this match as he can decide the outcome with his excellent creativity and clinical finishing.

Fulham Vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

Both sides haven't been at their brilliant best recently, which makes this tricky. Fulham will feel confident heading into this tie after getting the better of them on the previous two occasions. Tottenham on their part will be delighted to welcome their key players for this crucial tie. We expect them to emerge victorious here because they look strong on paper and the players have the capabilities to decide the outcome with their brilliance.

Predicted Score: Fulham 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
