Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham FC
The new season in the Premier League is in full swing and the teams already have five matchdays in their bones. As is very often the case on the island, it is once again blow by blow. Tottenham and Fulham FC are back in action on Saturday. A London derby awaits both teams and if we take a closer look at the table, there are only three points between these two clubs. What we think about this match in detail, you will find out in the following Tottenham – Fulham tip.
Spurs from north London have made a very successful start to the new season and after five matchdays they have a strong eleven points. This puts coach Antonio Conte’s team in third place. The upcoming opponents from the district of Fulham have so far shown very decent performances for a promoted team. There was a 2-1 win over Brighton during the week and that leaves the Cottagers on eight points.

Tottenham Form & Balance Check
Spurs have made some really excellent reinforcements in the current transfer window and that was sorely needed after coach Antonio Conte complained mightily this winter. The first five matchdays went according to the Italian’s expectations and the three wins and two draws are more than respectable. During the week, they faced the Hammers from West Ham. At London’s Olympic Stadium, Tottenham took a 1-0 lead through an own goal by Thilo Kehrer. However, it was not enough to secure their fourth win of the season as Soucek from the Czech Republic equalised.
Hard to beat at home
This Saturday is the third home game of the young season and Tottenham have won both of their games in front of their fans. The opener was a 4-1 win over Southampton, before Wolves were beaten 1-0 a few weeks ago. Against FC Fulham, Tottenham will again venture into the offensive. Harry Kane, in particular, has been convincing again in the first five matchdays. The striker has already scored four goals in five games. Only Erling Haaland and Alexander Mitrovic are ahead of the England captain.
Tottenham facts & analysis
– Still unbeaten
– 3 wins and 2 draws
– Last played 1-1 against West Ham
Fulham form & balance check
Happy start to the season, there is no other way to describe the performances of the promoted side so far. They bagged their second win of the season during the week when they defeated Brighton & Hove Albion’s Seagulls 2-1 at home to Craven Cottage. Mitrovic, in particular, once again played a big part in the three points. In recent years, he was usually mocked by the fans for only being able to score in the second-tier Championship. Meanwhile, the Serbian is on a staggering five goals after the first five matchdays.
Cottagers difficult to play against
Mitrovic is the best example of how Fulham FC are performing this season. The Serb throws himself into every ball, tries to cover up the technical deficiencies with commitment and passion and overall, coach Marco Silva’s team is very difficult to play against. The spaces are made extremely tight and with players like Palhinha or Reed, the Cottagers have very strong runners in their own ranks. In addition, Fulham FC can always create danger from corners and free kicks. Not least Mitrovic is one of the strongest headers in the league.
Fulham facts & analysis
– 8 points after 5 games
– Last win 2:1 against Brighton
– Only lost 1 game
Predicted line-up – last update on 1 September 2022
London Spurs will once again field a familiar 3-5-2-1 in the upcoming match. Coach Conte will play very offensively, as he has done recently. Kane will be the only top player up front, supported by Son and Kulusevski. Fulham’s upcoming opponents will go into the game with exactly the same eleven that won 2-1 against Brighton during the week.
