Tottenham will look to put the Arsenal hammering back, when they visit Craven Cottage.
Tottenham Hotspur will return to Premier League duties just about a week after that North London derby defeat at the hands of Arsenal. And this time around, Igor Tudor has a London derby to prep for as the Croat head coach looks to start putting points on the table for his new employers as the Lilywhites continue to suffer the wrath of probable relegation from the English top tier.
While many Spurs supporters understood the vast quality gap between Tottenham and Arsenal last weekend, the Fulham game along the corner is a must-win one as the club finds itself only four points from the drop zone.
While a trip to Craven Cottage is always a tricky one given that it’s a small ground with fans near to the run of play, Tudor & Co. have no room for error, as the travelling fans would hope that the 10th time is the charm given that the Lilywhites are winless in nine games in the English top tier in 2026.

Fulham vs Tottenham Match Preview
Igor Tudor had a difficult introduction to the Premier League given he had to face the league leaders in his first game in charge. And while the North Londoners showed flashes of promise in the half an hour against the Gunners last weekend, it was the defensive frailties which resurfaced in that second half as Mikel Arteta’s side took all three points.
Tottenham remain the only side in the division who are yet to register a win in the calendar year. And a failure to do so against the Cottagers this weekend will see Spurs equal their longest winless run in the Premier League, a 10-match stretch set in 1994.
Interestingly, the Lilywhites have been better away from home this season. Tottenham have collected 19 points of their 29 points while playing on the road. And in three of their last four away games (in all competitions), Tottenham have found the back of the net at least twice.
While on the other side of the fence there is Fulham, who rediscovered their attacking edge at the Stadium of Light last weekend, where goals from Raul Jimenez and Alex Iwobi were enough to take Marco Silva’s side, snapping a three-game losing run and reasserting their push for a finish in the top half of the table.
Currently 10th and just three points away from a possible European spot, the West Londoners remain firmly in the mix to secure that spot.
Team News
Tottenham
Igor Tudor will receive a timely double boost ahead of this weekend’s game as the duo of Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso return to training, and both of them are expected to be available for selection.
Micky van de Ven will be passed fit for the game after his minor toe issue. But his partner in crime Cristian Romero continues to remain suspended.
Then all of Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert and Destiny Udogie continue to serve on the sidelines as Tottenham’s injury problems continue going into the final stint of the season.
But just the fact that both Porro and Danso are to return helps the 3-5-2 system that Tudor prefers.
Fulham
Marco Silva has some injury concerns of his own, starting from Kevin. Kevin suffered a foot injury against Sunderland which may end up requiring him to go under the knife.
Samuel Chukwueze could return from a calf problem for the hosts, while Antonee Robinson and Saša Lukić are also back in training already.
Predicted Lineups
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Bobb; Jimenez
Tottenham: Vicario; Danso, Van de Ven, Dragusin; Porro, Palhinha, Gallagher, Spence; Solanke, Simons; Kolo Muani
Fulham vs Tottenham prediction
While that offensive output from Fulham was impressive last weekend vs Sunderland, they surely have a bit of vulnerability at the back given how Marco Silva & Co. have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 games now.
While Tottenham do have a couple of defenders returning, the confidence in that camp remains fragile. Hopefully Tudor finds a way to get to these players and grind out a result.
TTLB Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur.
