Tottenham vs Fulham Preview at59

Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham Hotspur side return to Premier League action with an all-London affair as they take on Fulham on Sunday, looking to build on last weekend’s hugely impressive 4-0 win over Manchester City.

A first-half brace from James Maddison and second-half goals from Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson saw Spurs run riot at the Etihad to end a two-game losing streak, having lost to Ipswich in the two games prior.

The North Londoners returned to Europa League action against Roma in midweek too, being held to a 2-2 draw at home despite taking the lead on two occasions through Heung-min Son and Johnson.

Tottenham head into Gameweek 13 occupying sixth place in the English top-flight table, just three points adrift of Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton in the top five, while Fulham are only a point behind them in ninth place.

Marco Silva’s side head into this one off the back of a dreadful 4-1 battering by Wolves at Craven Cottage last weekend, a result that ended their three-game unbeaten streak. They beat Crystal Palace and Brentford in the two games prior.

The Cottagers prevailed with a comfortable 3-0 triumph when they last faced off against Tottenham in March earlier this year, but their last meeting at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ended 2-0 in favour of Spurs.

Spurs were hit with a major blow earlier in the week when it was confirmed that Guglielmo Vicario had to undergo surgery after breaking his ankle, leaving the Italian stopper ruled out of action for the foreseeable future.

ing him on the sidelines are Richarlison (thigh), Micky van de Ven (thigh), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Mikey Moore (illness) and Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), while Cristian Romero also misses out.

Dominic Solanke is also absent and Dejan Kulusevski has been dropped to the bench.

As for the visitors, Harrison Reed (knee), Joachim Andersen (calf) and Jorge Cuenca (knock) will miss the trip to North London, while Sander Berge is a doubt due to a knock.

Andersen’s injury likely means Issa Diop will start alongside Calvin Bassey in central defence, with Kenny Tete and Antonee Robinson as full-backs.

On the attacking front, Fulham will use a trio of players who used to play for Spurs’ fierce rivals, Arsenal, with Alexander Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson playing behind Raul Jimenez.
