Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to build on their stunning 4-0 victory over Manchester City when they host Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Can Spurs continue their rise, or will Fulham have a surprise in store?
Tottenham Hotspur arrive at this fixture with confidence soaring after their emphatic 4-0 demolition of Manchester City in their last Premier League outing.
This win wasn’t just another three points; it was a statement, and it has propelled Spurs into sixth place, firmly in the hunt for European qualification.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have been inconsistent at times, with six wins, five losses, and one draw from 12 matches, but their dominant display against the champions suggests they might finally be hitting their stride.
Fulham, meanwhile, will be looking to shake off the disappointment of a humbling 4-1 defeat at the hands of Wolves.
Despite this setback, Fulham have had a solid start to the season and are currently sitting in ninth place in the table.
Marco Silva’s side have shown resilience, winning five of their first 12 games, but they will need to bounce back quickly from the loss to Wolves if they are to maintain their position in the top half of the Premier League table.
Their away form has been decent, with two of their five wins coming on the road, which means Spurs cannot afford to underestimate them on Sunday.
Fulham will be very well aware that although they sit in ninth place, a win against Spurs could see them go above their hosts who are sixth, as they currently sit just one point behind them on 18 points.
Spurs, meanwhile, are also aware that a victory could propel them to third, depending on how results elsewhere unfold.
The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, 1 December 2024, with kick-off scheduled for 1:30 pm UK time.
The match is not being broadcast live in the UK. Instead, fans can watch highlights on BBC One’s Match of the Day 2 show from 10:30 pm.
Tottenham will be without several key players, including Wilson Odobert, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Mikey Moore, and Richarlison, all sidelined through injury.
Rodrigo Bentancur will also be absent, serving the second game of his FA ban. Cristian Romero could return to the fold in the next week, though his fitness will depend on the outcome of late assessments following Postecoglou’s pre-match press conference.
For Fulham, Harrison Reed is ruled out with a knee injury, and there are doubts over the availability of Carlos Vinícius.
Spurs’ demolition of Manchester City demonstrated their potential to dominate even the toughest opposition, and this fixture offers a golden opportunity to build on that performance.
Playing in front of their home crowd should provide an added boost, and if they can replicate their attacking fluency, Fulham could find themselves overwhelmed.
While Fulham have shown resilience on the road, Spurs’ firepower may prove too much. A 4-1 victory for Tottenham seems a likely outcome, as they look to solidify their place in the top six and maintain their momentum heading into a crucial stretch of the season.
