Fulham will hope to build on their excellent win away from home against Sunderland, as they take on a Tottenham Hotspur side who are left with the prospect of a relegation battle at this stage of the season.
The Cottagers had previously lost three consecutive league games; however, to provide context, they had also lost away to Manchester City and Manchester United. Marco Silva's men are 10th in the Premier League and could move into a European place with a win against Tottenham Hotspur. The strength for the Cottagers this season has undoubtedly been their home form, which has seen them pick up points against Liverpool and Manchester United. The Cottagers have accumulated 1.77 points per game at Craven Cottage, having scored 1.69 goals per game. Compare this to their record away from home, where they have only averaged exactly one point per game. The home side is heading into this fixture with three wins from their last five home matches and one defeat.
Tottenham Hotspur are in a dangerous position; if their league form continues to deteriorate, the LilyWhites will be facing the prospect of relegation. Igor Tudor was given a baptism of fire in his first match in charge, as his Spurs side suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat to local rivals Arsenal in the North London derby. That defeat now leaves Tottenham with three straight losses and no wins in their previous four matches. Tottenham have one of the most extensive injury lists, with the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, who remains unavailable, and suspension concerns still lingering over Cristian Romero.
We are going for a Fulham win here. The Cottagers are solid at home, which should be enough against a Tottenham Hotspur side that performed so abjectly against Arsenal. Fulham's games tend to involve goals on both sides, with the BTTS market landing in five of the last six games involving the visitors.
Fulham 3-2 Tottenham
