Overview
Since the start of the 2024-2025 season, Tottenham has rarely shown stability. In the last 3 matches, Spurs lost 1-2 to Ipswich, won 4-0 against defending champions Man City and then were held to a 2-2 draw at home by weaker opponents Roma.
After 12 matches, "The Roosters" have the same number of wins as Brighton, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League, but have lost 5 matches, the most among the top 10 teams in the tournament.
Tottenham's instability is partly due to injuries. In round 13, Tottenham will lose up to 6 players due to injuries, including key players such as Vicario, Bentancur and Van de Ven. Their number 1 center back Romero is also uncertain to play in the match against Fulham due to fitness problems.
On the other side of the front line, Fulham's 3-match unbeaten streak also came to an end after a 1-4 defeat to Wolves in round 12 of the Premier League. That defeat showed Fulham's complete stalemate, as they had 60% possession but could only launch 10 shots. Obviously, if they want to compete with the group participating in the European Cup, Fulham will have to make more efforts in the rest of the season.
Since 1998, Tottenham and Fulham have faced each other a total of 40 times in all competitions. During this time, Tottenham have won 22 times, scoring 64 goals, an average of 1.6 goals per game. Meanwhile, Fulham have won nine times, scoring 37 goals, an average of 0.9 goals per game. The two teams have drawn nine times.
In the last 3 matches, Tottenham won 3, drew 1 and lost 1 against Fulham.
Human resources situation
Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario is set to be sidelined for a long time, meaning Fraser Forster will make his Spurs Premier League debut against Fulham.
On the other side of the front line, Harrison Reed is expected to be out until January next year due to a knee injury. Meanwhile, defender Joachim Andersen is struggling with a calf injury.
Expected lineup:
Tottenham: Forster, Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Son Heung-min.
Fulham: Leno, Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Pereira, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Jimenez.
The match between Tottenham and Fulham takes place at 20:30 on December 1 (Vietnam time).
