🗞️ Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

Cristian Romero (Toe injury), Richarlison (Hamstring injury), Micky van de Ven (Hamstring injury), Wilson Odobert (Hamstring injury), Mikey Moore (Ill) and Guglielmo Vicario (Ankle surgery) won’t be available for Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou.

It looks as if Spurs may well kick off with a 4-3-3 system and select Fraser Forster, Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke and Heung-Min Son.

🗞️ Team News: Fulham

Fulham manager Marco Silva has to choose a team with limited availability. Jorge Cuenca (Knock), Joachim Andersen (Achilles tendon problems), Ryan Sessegnon (unknown injury) and Harrison Reed (Knee surgery) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that The Cottagers will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Issa Diop, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Sander Berge, Sasa Lukic, Adama Traore, Andreas Pereira, Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Fulham will surely be able to find the net against this Tottenham Hotspur lineup, although it might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 advantage for Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the match. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
