Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham - Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups
By Ben Gray
Fulham have won only three of their 45 visits to Tottenham since 1906, claiming victories at White Hart Lane in 1948, 2003 and 2013, so will Spurs claim a third successive home victory over the Cottagers?
Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham Preview
After claiming a momentous victory last weekend, can Tottenham Hotspur secure back-to-back league wins for the first time since September? A week ago, Ange Postecoglou's team demolished champions Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad, with James Maddison bagging a quick-fire brace, before both Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson completed the rout. Nevertheless, this merely continued Spurs' trend of alternating between winning and losing in the Premier League, doing so for seven successive matches, having suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich earlier this month.
Then, on Thursday night, the Lilywhites were held to a 2-2 draw by Roma in the Europa League, leading twice through Son Heung-min's spot-kick and then Johnson's first-time finish, only to concede a last-gasp equaliser. This leaves Spurs ninth in the Europa League table, with games against Rangers, Hoffenheim and Elfsborg to come. Back in the Premier League, Tottenham need to build some momentum if they're to make a push for the Champions League spots, so can they follow up last Saturday's phenomenal win with another victory here?
Fulham meantime kick off just one point worse off than their rather more illustrious cross-city rivals, despite suffering a bit of a humbling last time out. A week ago, the Cottagers were on the wrong end of their heaviest Premier League defeat since May, smashed 4-1 by Wolves at home, despite actually taking a very early lead through Alex Iwobi. Prior to this, Marco Silva's side had enjoyed back-to-back wins, propelling the Whites into the European positions, so can Fulham get back on track and spring a massive surprise on Sunday?

Tottenham Hotspur Team News
It was confirmed on Monday that Guglielmo Vicario had suffered a broken ankle at the Etihad, thereby requiring surgery that'll sideline the goalkeeper for months. To date, Vicario has not missed a Premier League game since his debut, a fact that's about to change, with Fraser Forster deputising, making his first league appearance since May 2023. Elsewhere, first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero also remain out, so Radu Drăgușin will once again partner Ben Davies. Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is in the midst of his seven-match domestic suspension, so Yves Bissouma will return at the base of midfield, while James Maddison's exceptional display at the Etihad will also earn him a start. Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore and Richarlison are all still injured.

Fulham Team News
Saša Lukić started at the base of midfield against Wolves, having sat out the previous four fixtures due to a shoulder injury, but will the Serbian keep his place, with Sander Berge having recovered from illness? Joachim Andersen hobbled off last weekend, with Marco Silva confirming the centre-back will miss out, with Issa Diop therefore deputing. Elsewhere, it's likely to be an all-former Arsenal attacking trio featuring Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Alex Iwobi, the latter duo chosen over Adama Traoré and Harry Wilson out-wide. The aforementioned Lukić and Calvin Bassey will sit out Thursday's clash with Brighton if booked here.
Fulham predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Lukić, Pereira, Nelson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jiménez.
