2. Key Factors and Expected Outcome:

Tottenham's home advantage at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be a significant factor. Fulham, under Marco Silva, are known for their tactical flexibility and ability to counter-attack effectively. However, Tottenham's attacking prowess, particularly with Maddison and Kulusevski in form, gives them the edge.

3. Recent Team Form and Key Players to Watch:

  • Tottenham: Recent form has been inconsistent, with a stunning 4-0 win over Man City followed by a 2-2 draw against Roma. Key players include Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski. Significant injuries include Vicario (out), Van de Ven (out), Richarlison (out), and Romero (doubtful). Bentancur is suspended.

  • Fulham: Coming off a 4-1 loss to Wolves, but had previously won two straight. Key players are Iwobi, Smith Rowe, and Pereira. Andersen, Cuenca, and Reed are out, with Sessegnon doubtful.

4. Tactical Preview:

  • Tottenham: Expected to maintain their attacking, high-pressing style under Postecoglou. The focus will be on exploiting Fulham's potential defensive vulnerabilities.

  • Fulham: Likely to employ a counter-attacking strategy, aiming to hit Tottenham on the break and utilize their creative midfielders to create opportunities.

5. Summary and Key Takeaways:

Tottenham's attacking strength and home advantage make them slight favorites. However, Fulham's ability to counter-attack and Tottenham's injury concerns could make this a closer contest than the odds suggest. The match's outcome will likely hinge on Tottenham's ability to maintain their attacking intensity while limiting Fulham's counter-attacking threats. The fitness of Cristian Romero will also be crucial for Spurs' defensive solidity.
