Fulham enter this London derby on Sunday with a significant psychological edge, having avoided defeat against Spurs in their previous four meetings, winning three of those encounters, including a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Fulham team overview
Fulham approach this high-profile London derby firmly established as a top-half presence, currently sitting 10th in the Premier League table with a respectable return of 37 points from 27 gameweeks completed.
Marco Silva’s side have every reason to feel encouraged ahead of Round 28 after producing an authoritative attacking display in a 3-1 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light last weekend, a result that propelled them back into the top 10 and brought an end to a three-match losing sequence.
The Cottagers have also proven particularly reliable when expected to deliver, claiming nine wins from 11 matches as betting favourites this season, underlining their ruthless edge against teams battling for stability. That clinical streak could prove decisive against a Tottenham back line that has shown vulnerability at times throughout the campaign.
On the team news front, Sasa Lukic has resumed training after overcoming a hamstring issue, although he is not yet deemed fully match-fit, while Antonee Robinson, Kevin and Samuel Chukwueze remain doubts as they continue to manage their respective injury concerns.

Tottenham team overview
Tottenham Hotspur make the short trip across the capital in the midst of a deeply concerning slump, languishing in a lowly 16th place in the Premier League table with just 29 points to their name and still searching for their first top-flight victory of the calendar year.
Following the mid-month dismissal of Thomas Frank, the responsibility of restoring order has fallen on Igor Tudor, who has been tasked with steadying a side that has drifted alarmingly off course. However, the Croatian’s tenure could hardly have begun in more turbulent fashion, as he oversaw a chastening 4-1 defeat in the North London derby against Arsenal, a result that further underlined the scale of the challenge ahead.
That bruising setback extended Spurs’ winless league run to nine matches, with their defensive frailties continuing to undermine any hopes of a swift recovery, having conceded at least twice in eight of their last ten competitive outings.
To compound matters, Tottenham’s problems are exacerbated by a mounting injury and suspension list, as Tudor is expected to be without as many as nine first-team players, including the suspended Cristian Romero, while defensive pair Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro remain major doubts heading into this crucial London encounter.

Prediction
While Tottenham Hotspur can lean on the individual pedigree of Dominic Solanke, who boasts an enviable scoring record in this fixture, the sheer lack of defensive cohesion under Igor Tudor remains a glaring red flag. The Lilywhites arrive in West London amidst a historic nine-match winless streak, and a backline that has conceded at least twice in seven of their last eight league outings is unlikely to find immediate solace against such clinical opposition.
Marco Silva’s Fulham are currently operating with the tactical maturity of a top-six side, and their recent 3-1 dismantling of Sunderland underscored the ruthless efficiency they possess. With Harry Wilson in a rich vein of form and the Cottagers already holding a 2-1 psychological advantage from the reverse fixture, the stars seem aligned for a historic season sweep. We expect a desperate Spurs side to find the net, but Fulham’s superior collective identity should see them edge a high-intensity affair, further entrenching Tottenham in the relegation mire.
Four Reasons we expect Fulham to Win
- Fulham head into this clash on the back of an impressive 3-1 dismantling of Sunderland last weekend.
- Craven Cottage has been Fulham’s primary weapon in their points collection this season.
- Tottenham have not tasted a single Premier League victory since the start of 2026, highlighting their ongoing struggles.
- Fulham have outmaneuvered Tottenham in three of the previous four head to head encounters.
