Tottenham suffered a 4-1 mauling at the hands of north London rivals Arsenal last weekend in Igor Tudor's first game in charge and Spurs could be plunged further into the Premier League relegation mire when they head to Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
Craven Cottage has not been a happy hunting for the Lilywhites over the last couple of years and more disappointment could be on the cards against the Cottagers, who are still harbouring hopes of a European finish.

Fulham vs Tottenhampreview
Relegation is looking a distinct possibility for Tottenham and manager Igor Tudor is under no illusions about the scale of the task of keeping the Londoners in the Premier League.
That job could look even tougher after his side head across the capital for a difficult clash at Fulham.
Tudor, who has plenty of managerial experience at Lazio, Marseille and Juventus, says everything "should be good" as long as his side focus on "what we can do, less thinking about others".
However, putting that into practice is another thing entirely and last weekend's 4-1 thrashing at home to leaders Arsenal is a stark reminder of the challenge ahead.
Spurs were put to the sword by the Gunners, who had 20 shots at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and relegation fears will increase unless Tudor tightens a defence who have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight league matches.
Whether Tudor has had enough time to get his methods across remains to be seen, but the squad is depleted by injuries and suspension and they could come a cropper against a Fulham side holding European aspirations.
The Cottagers have won their last two matches, beating Stoke in the FA Cup before landing a rare win at the Stadium of Light when overcoming Sunderland 3-1, and a third successive victory is well within their grasp.
Marco Silva's troops have been strong at home, winning four of their last six fixtures, and they have also won the last two league meetings against Spurs at Craven Cottage.
Fulham have not been a side to blow away opponents, though, and it is notable that of their 11 top-flight wins this season, eight of those have come by a single goal including five of their seven triumphs at home.
With Tottenham low on confidence and struggling on the road with just one win in their last eight away matches in the league, Fulham can record another narrow victory to pile the misery on Spurs.
Iwobi can test the goalkeeper
Alex Iwobi is a driving force in Fulham's midfield, regularly carrying the ball forward and starting attacks, and he has not been afraid to have a go at goal, with five shots attempted across his last two appearances.
The Nigeria international tested the goalkeeper in last weekend's win over Sunderland, the second time he has had a shot on target in his last five starts, and he looks capable of calling Spurs stopper Vicario into action.
Kolo Muani to leave his mark
Tottenham forward Randal Kolo Muani has been leading his side's press and he committed six fouls in the loss to Arsenal, taking his foul count to ten in his last two starts having made four in the draw against Manchester City.
The 27-year-old has managed to evade a booking in both of those matches but his luck could be about to run out at Craven Cottage as referee Paul Tierney averages nearly four yellows per Premier League game this season.
Fulham vs Tottenham Bet Builder
Both teams to score
Both teams have scored in six of Fulham's last seven home games in the league and in two of Tottenham's last three away top-flight assignments.
Yves Bissouma to be booked
The Mali international has picked up two bookings in his last three starts and could be in for a busy afternoon in the Tottenham midfield.
Raul Jimenez anytime goalscorer
Fulham's Mexican forward netted a brace in the win at Sunderland last weekend, taking his tally to three goals from his last four starts.
Pays out at 15-2 with bet365
