After three weeks away, Spurs return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night to host Fulham, hoping to win their first Premier League fixture in a month.

Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate to avoid a third straight defeat in all competitions after losing both matches since the November international break. The North London Derby was a miserable watch, with Spurs beaten 4-1 at the Emirates, where they were barely able to string 3 passes together.

However, they showed a lot more fight midweek against the reigning Champions League winners, Paris Saint-Germain, in the Champions League. Spurs went ahead twice in that game, but a couple of poor defensive moments proved costly in a chaotic 5-3 defeat.

November has been a frustrating month for Spurs as they are winless in the league with two defeats and a draw, and that inconsistency has dropped them to 9th, where they are level on points with three other sides but ahead on goal difference.

Four points below in 15th sit Marco Silva’s Fulham, who arrive off the back of a slightly surprising 1-0 win over Sunderland last weekend. Before that, they had lost every league match since 21 September apart from a 3-0 win over bottom-placed Wolves.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham: Head-to-head record

Fulham have usually been a comfortable assignment for Tottenham over the years, as across 2013 and 2023, Spurs won eight of the nine meetings (1D).

MORE SPURS STORIES

Since then, though, it has flipped. Tottenham are winless in the last three clashes, losing two and drawing one.

Tottenham team news

Thomas Frank again refused to put a timeline on Dejan Kulusevski or Dominic Solanke, but both are expected to return around the end of the year.

Cristian Romero’s suspension is a major setback, with the captain missing out after picking up his 5th yellow card last weekend.

Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray returned from injury in midweek, jumped straight into the starting XI against PSG, and looked excellent.

The injury list is still long as Ben Davies, Kota Takai, Yves Bissouma and James Maddison remain out, while Radu Dragusin could feature late on if all goes well.

Fulham team news

Marco Silva has only two injuries to contend with. Antonee Robinson is unavailable at left-back, while Rodrigo Muniz also misses out. Other than that, Fulham travel with a fully fit squad.

Predicted Tottenham line-up

Vicario, Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bergvall, Simons, Palhinha, Gray, Kudus, Kolo Muani

We expect Thomas Frank to stick with the 4-4-2 diamond. Destiny Udogie, Joao Palhinha and Xavi Simons should all come back in for Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr – though any of them could keep their place.

Up front, Richarlison, who has scored 3 in his last 3 for Spurs, may drop out for Mohammed Kudus, who was rested from the starting XI against PSG. Kolo Muani, fresh from a brace and an assist in that match, also did not complete the full 90 minutes, possibly with this game in mind.

Our prediction

Fulham have yet to win away from home in the Premier League this season, and Spurs will want to keep it that way. The twist is that Tottenham themselves have had one of the league’s weakest home records in 2025, so nothing feels guaranteed.

Ryan Sessegnon, who scored in this fixture last season, is one to watch on the Fulham side. Somehow, he has stayed fit since leaving Tottenham and is the joint-second top scorer for Marco Silva’s team.

For Spurs, keep an eye on the teenage duo of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray. They complemented each other brilliantly in midweek, and it would feel harsh if either was dropped. Hopefully, Frank keeps faith with both.

Fulham’s inconsistency has been a real problem lately, and while Spurs are in a similar patch, there’s still a feeling that Frank’s side can grind out a much-needed win here.
