Overview
Fulham have been in a relatively stable run since early February 2025. They beat Wigan and Manchester United in the FA Cup to reach the quarter-finals. Coach Marco Silva's team also brought home 9/15 points in the Premier League, helping them maintain their position in the race for a ticket to the European Cup next season.
However, Fulham have yet to regain the necessary stability, as their defense has conceded goals in all matches since February 2025. This is a worrying achievement for Fulham fans.
Tottenham are 13th in the table but their attack has had 55 shots in just 28 games. This is the second best finish in the league and only behind Liverpool with 69 goals.
The reason Tottenham lost too many points in the previous 2/3 rounds was due to injuries to key defenders. However, the return of Cristian Romero, Micky Van De Ven and goalkeeper Vicario in the most recent match against AZ Alkmaar was a good thing for Spurs.
With coach Ange Postecoglou having the best cards, Tottenham will be confident enough to visit Craven Cottage, the stadium where they suffered a 0-3 defeat last season.
In the first leg, both teams had to share points at Tottenham. With both sides having been in relatively good form recently, it is likely that a similar result will be repeated.
Personnel situation
Tottenham's injury concerns are easing, with only Radu Dragusin, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski sidelined. However, Postecoglou will have to be wary of the fitness of players like Cristian Romero and Micky Van De Ven.
On the other side of the front line, Fulham winger Adama Traore missed his most recent match due to injury. Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson, Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson are also unable to play.
Expected lineup:
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Andersen, Robinson, Lukic, Pereira, Berge, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Jimenez.
Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Gray, Romero, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison, Odobert, Johnson, Tel.
The match between Fulham and Tottenham takes place at 20:30 on March 16 (Vietnam time).
