3️⃣ 📈 Recent Team Form and Key Players to Watch

4️⃣ 🎯 Tactical Preview
- Fulham: Expect Fulham to be organized defensively, potentially employing a mid-block to frustrate Tottenham. They will likely look to exploit wide areas and set-pieces.
- Tottenham: Tottenham will likely focus on quick transitions and exploiting spaces in behind Fulham's defense. Their pressing game will be key to winning possession in dangerous areas.
- Tactical Battle: The midfield battle between Fulham's Harrison Reed and Tottenham's Bruno Fernandes will be crucial. Reed's ability to disrupt Fernandes' playmaking could stifle Tottenham's attack.
