2️⃣ 🔥 Key Factors and Expected Outcome
Fulham's home advantage is a factor, but Tottenham's tactical flexibility and superior squad depth should give them the edge. Expect a high-intensity match with Tottenham aiming to exploit Fulham's defensive vulnerabilities. The key theme is whether Fulham's attack can breach Tottenham's defense enough to secure a point or more.
3️⃣ 📈 Recent Team Form and Key Players to Watch

- Key Players to Watch: Raul Jimenez (all 9 goals this season have either put Fulham ahead or drawn them level), Alex Iwobi (creative outlet). Adama Traore is a doubt due to an ankle injury.
- Tottenham: Tottenham's form has been inconsistent. They lost 0-1 to Manchester City.
- Key Players to Watch: Keep an eye on Tottenham's Son Heung-min and James Maddison.
4️⃣ 🎯 Tactical Preview
- Fulham: Marco Silva typically sets up Fulham in a 3-4-2-1 formation, relying on quick transitions and the creativity of Iwobi and Smith Rowe to support Jimenez. Expect them to try and exploit spaces in wide areas.
- Tottenham: Tottenham are expected to employ a high-pressing, attacking style under their manager, aiming to dominate possession and create chances through quick passing and movement.
- Tactical Battle: The midfield battle between Fulham's Andreas Pereira and Tottenham's James Maddison will be crucial. Tottenham's high press against Fulham's attempts to play out from the back could also be a defining factor.
5️⃣ 📢 Summary and Key Takeaways
Tottenham are slight favorites due to their overall quality, but Fulham's home form and scoring ability make them a dangerous opponent. Bettors should consider a Tottenham win with both teams scoring. All eyes will be on whether Fulham's Jimenez can continue his scoring streak against a Tottenham defense that can be vulnerable.
