Fulham vs Tottenham Form and Head to Head
The Cottagers head into this fixture on the back of an impressive 3-1 away victory against Sunderland in their last Premier League outing, a result that will undoubtedly boost confidence. This win was a much-needed boost after a mixed run of form that saw them lose to Manchester City and Everton, but also secure a 2-1 home win against Brighton in their last six league matches. Interestingly, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Fulham's last five Premier League games, indicating their matches are rarely dull affairs.
Tottenham's recent form paints a starkly different picture. The Lilywhites suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Arsenal in their most recent league game, a result that extended their losing streak in the Premier League to three matches. Their last six league fixtures have seen them lose four, draw one, and win only one against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. A particularly concerning statistic for Spurs fans is that the team has conceded at least two goals in their last seven Premier League matches, with six of those games also seeing over 2.5 goals scored.
The most recent encounter between these two London clubs saw Fulham emerge victorious, securing a 2-1 away win at Tottenham in November 2025 in the Premier League.
Looking at the last six meetings across all competitions, Fulham have held the upper hand, winning three, drawing two, and losing just one against their rivals. This record includes a penalty shootout victory in the League Cup after a 1-1 draw. The Cottagers have proven to be a tricky opponent for Tottenham in recent times, often defying their respective league positions.

Fulham vs Tottenham Team News
Fulham are set to be without Samuel Chukwueze, who is doubtful with a calf injury. Kevin, his replacement in the last match, also picked up an injury and is expected to miss out. These absences could pave the way for Oscar Bobb to make his first Premier League start for the club. Sasa Lukic, however, is back in training and could make a return after missing several games.
Tottenham's injury list remains extensive, although there is some positive news with Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro returning to training and expected to feature, possibly slotting straight into the starting XI. Dominic Solanke should also be fit to start upfront. However, the Lilywhites still have nine players sidelined, with captain Cristian Romero serving the penultimate game of his four-match suspension. Long-term absentees include Ben Davies and Wilson Odobert, while key midfielders James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are yet to play a minute this season due to knee injuries.
Fulham vs Tottenham Probable Lineups
Fulham (4-2-3-1): Leno; Sessegnon, Bassey, Andersen, Tete; Iwobi, Berge; Bobb, S. Rowe, Wilson; Jiménez
Tottenham (3-4-1-2): Vicario; v. d. Ven, Dragusin, Danso; Spence, Gallagher, Sarr, Porro; Simons; K. Muani, Solanke
Fulham vs Tottenham Match Prediction
It’s shaping up to be a pretty even London derby. Fulham F.C. have been picking up some good momentum lately and tend to be involved in open, high-scoring matches, while Tottenham Hotspur F.C. are going through a rough patch, especially with injuries and suspensions hurting their defensive options.
Even so, derbies are rarely straightforward. Both sides like to push wide and create chances from the wings, and mistakes in defence could easily lead to goals. Fulham will likely look to exploit aerial duels and Spurs’ shaky backline, while Tottenham will hope their attack can offset their defensive issues.
Overall, a draw feels like a fair reflection of the balance between the teams. A 1-1 scoreline seems quite realistic, with each side finding a way to break through once but not doing quite enough to win it.
Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Tottenham
