Tottenham Hotspur will be travelling to Craven Cottage to lock horns with Fulham in the Premier League this weekend. They are going into the match with a lot of confidence after thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 in their most recent game.
It will be a crucial game for Spurs as they continue to fight for a Champions League spot. They are ranking fifth in the points table with 53 points in 27 games. A win against Fulham will put them back in the fourth position, replacing the Villans.
Defence
Guglielmo Vicario didn’t have much to do against Aston Villa and managed to keep a clean sheet. He will take the man with the gloves for Tottenham Hotspur. Pedro Porro looked sharp on his return and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be starting as the right-back.
Spurs will be without the services of centre-back Micky van de Ven, who suffered a knee injury in the previous outing. Radu Dragusin is likely to walk in to form the duo with Cristian Romero. Destiny Udogie is the undisputed left-back in the side.

Midfield
The partnership of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr as the holding midfielders will remain unbroken. They ran the show for their side against the Villans and would like to repeat the same.
They will have the effective attacking trio of Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Brennan Johnson up front. All three have been influential in the final third to create or score goals for the team.
Attack
Son Heung-min remains the leader of the attack. He will be high in confidence after an excellent outing last week. He netted a goal apart from providing two assists against Aston Villa.
Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (foot) and Manor Solomon (knee) will not be available for the contest. There is also doubt over the fitness of Richarlison.
