Fulham v Tottenham: Line-ups, stats and preview

Match preview for Fulham v Tottenham

Tottenham may well have rescued their season by beating AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League but there is no rest for the wicked as they travel to Fulham.

The Cottagers are flying and pushing for a place in Europe under Marco Silva and they cannot afford to slip up against their London rivals.

After their 2-1 loss to Brighton last time out, if Fulham are serious about challenging for the Champions League places, they must beat Spurs.

Spurs put a lot into their Europa League comeback on Thursday night, meaning there may be a few tired legs at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

This should give Fulham more than enough encouragement that they can collect all three points, especially if their opponents rotate.

Spurs sit in 13th-place, 12 points away from the top seven.

But they put up a good fight against Bournemouth last time out in the Premier League, coming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 against one of the most in-form sides in the division.

However, they have lost each of their last five league games before an international break, including a loss to Fulham this time last year.

Fulham picked up a point at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December, and they have only lost four of their last 18 across all competitions.

They also only have one clean sheet in 18 at home, which will give free-scoring Spurs hope that they can inflict plenty of damage in West London.

Team news for Fulham v Tottenham

Sunday will be a tricky call for Ange Postecoglou. He can either stick with the team that performed so well against Alkmaar or rotate heading into the break.

He may be inclined to keep his best players in the starting line-up, including Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke, despite their recent returns from injury.

The Australian confirmed that everyone came through Thursday night’s clash unscathed, but those out will remain sidelined.

This includes Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin will all miss out.

Rodrigo Bentancur will be available for a recall after serving his suspension in Europe.

For Fulham, Reiss Nelson, Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson are all out with injuries.

And Sas Lukic is serving the second match of his ban after accumulating 10 yellow cards.

Adama Traore has returned to training and could be in line to return to Silva’s starting XI.

Expected line-ups for Fulham v Tottenham

Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Gray, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Odobert, Solanke, Son

Another tough test. 😤
