Comments, predictions Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham: The away team pays the price

Tottenham Hotspur host city rivals Fulham in a London derby on Sunday, looking to end a two-game winless run at home in the Premier League.

Ange Postecoglou's side were held to a 2-2 draw by Roma in the Europa League on Thursday, having conceded a late equaliser, while Fulham suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last Premier League outing.

Latest Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham team information

Coach Ange Postecoglou delivered mixed news on Cristian Romero on Friday, confirming that the Argentine defender is close to recovering from a toe injury but is unlikely to feature in Sunday's game.

Romero will therefore be one of seven absentees for Tottenham, along with Mikey Moore (illness), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Micky van de Ven (muscle), Richarlison (muscle), Wilson Odobert (muscle) and Rodrigo Bentancur, who is serving a seven-match suspension. Bentancur played 78 minutes in the 2-2 draw with Roma, but is likely to be replaced in midfield by Yves Bissouma, while Johnson's place could be threatened by the return of James Maddison.

Fulham will be without one of their key midfielders, Harrison Reed, who underwent knee surgery just over a week ago and is expected to be out until early January. Manager Marco Silva has also confirmed that Joachim Andersen will miss "a few games" with a calf strain, while Jorge Cuenca is also out, but Sander Berge appears to be fit.

Issa Diop will replace Andersen in central defence, while Bernd Leno, Reiss Nelson, Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe are likely to receive a hostile reception from Tottenham fans given their Arsenal links.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham latest predicted lineup

Tottenham Hotspur:

Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son

Fulham:

Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Latest Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham football prediction

When substitute goalkeeper Fraser Forster made a spectacular last-gasp save against Roma on Thursday, the Europa League points looked decided, as efforts from Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson put Tottenham ahead in a dramatic encounter.

However, after being ruled out twice for offside in the second half, Claudio Ranieri's side finally got the equaliser they deserved amid relentless pressure, as veteran defender Mats Hummels headed home from a loose ball to cap a chaotic night in north London.

The 2-2 draw with Roma marked Tottenham's second consecutive game with a total of four goals, but all four goals against Man City last week went in the home side's favour, as Spurs comfortably beat a weakened Manchester City 4-1 to move up to sixth in the Premier League table.

Ange Postecoglou's side are just three points away from moving level on points with Brighton & Hove Albion, Arsenal and Chelsea as the Premier League round of 12 begins, but the win over Man City is Tottenham's only win in their last four games in all competitions, which include back-to-back defeats to Galatasaray and Ipswich Town.

Tottenham have at least found the back of the net in eight consecutive home games in all competitions since a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in September, one of seven defeats Postecoglou has overseen in 16 Premier League London derbies since taking over in 2023.

As for Fulham, Marco Silva's side suffered a disastrous home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are battling relegation. Fulham fell behind early on through Alex Iwobi, but Wolves went on to win 4-1 thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha (2), Goncalo Guedes and Joao Gomes.

After a three-match unbeaten run came to a bitter end, Fulham have dropped to ninth, a point and three places behind Tottenham, although Marco Silva's side still have a chance of qualifying for Europe with almost a third of the season gone.

The only positive from the defeat to Wolves was Iwobi's goal, which extended Fulham's run of scoring in 13 consecutive games in all competitions, and they have not failed to score against any team since their Premier League opener defeat to Manchester United.

Silva's side are also unbeaten in their last seven Premier League London derbies and could extend that run to eight for the first time, with the most recent coming in a 3-0 thrashing of Tottenham at Craven Cottage in March. However, Fulham's last win at Tottenham came in March 2013.
