Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to reignite their Premier League campaign when they host Fulham in a London derby this Saturday night. After a string of disappointing results, including a North London Derby defeat and a Champions League thriller loss to PSG, Spurs are under pressure to deliver a strong performance.
Team News and Form
Tottenham will be without Cristian Romero due to suspension, a blow to their defensive stability. Brennan Johnson is available after his Champions League suspension. Manager Thomas Frank confirmed no new injuries beyond those already sidelined, including Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke. Radu Dragusin is progressing but not yet ready to start.
Fulham, on the other hand, will be hoping to capitalise on Tottenham's vulnerabilities. Marco Silva's side are currently four points behind Spurs and will be aiming to close that gap with a positive result. They come into the match with confidence after a recent 1-0 victory against Sunderland.
