Team News and Expected Line-ups

Fulham will be forced into changes in midfield, with Sasa Lukic ruled out through suspension after accumulating ten yellow cards this season. Adama Traoré remains a doubt, while Kenny Tete, Harry Wilson, and Reiss Nelson are unavailable due to injuries.

For Tottenham, injuries continue to disrupt their squad depth. Kevin Danso is sidelined with a hamstring issue, while Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison are not expected to return until after the international break. Radu Dragusin faces an extended spell out following knee surgery.

On a positive note for Spurs, Wilson Odobert has staked his claim for a starting spot after netting twice on Thursday night. Sergio Reguilón and Timo Werner are back from injury, while Rodrigo Bentancur is eligible to feature after serving a European suspension.

Tactical Outlook and Match Prediction

Thursday’s European fixture will have undoubtedly drained Tottenham, both physically and mentally. While they produced moments of quality, their inconsistency remains a concern. Fulham, with fresher legs and home support, will fancy their chances of taking the initiative in this contest.

Marco Silva’s side have been resilient at Craven Cottage, and with Spurs dealing with key absences, they may struggle to impose themselves. If Fulham can start brightly and unsettle Tottenham’s defensive shape, they could well come away with the victory.

Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Tottenham
