Tottenham vs Fulham: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Tottenham face a visit from fellow London outfit Fulham this Sunday
- Spurs riding high after 4-0 demolition of Man City last weekend
- Cottagers suffered bruising defeat to Wolves last time out
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to build on last weekend's 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City when they host Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Lilywhites sparkled at the Etihad Stadium as they swatted an out-of-sorts Man City team aside, following a memorable victory up with a home 2-2 draw in the Europa League against Claudio Ranieri's Roma. A stoppage-time Mats Hummels effort prevented Spurs from a second consecutive victory following the November international period.
Just hours before Tottenham demolished Man City, fellow capital side Fulham were on the end of their own humiliation. Despite Alex Iwobi opening the scoring with a stunner, the Cottagers proceeded to concede four unanswered goals to struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on home soil in what was a hugely disappointing defeat.

Tottenham team news
Tottenham have a number of injuries across their squad but their most notable absentees come in defence. Guglielmo Vicario is missing in goal as he recovers from surgery on an ankle injury, while Micky van de Ven is sidelined due to a hamstring issue.
Cristian Romero has missed both games since the international break and appears unlikely to feature against Fulham. However, he is edging closer to a return and Ange Postecoglou refused to rule him out of contention for the Cottagers' visit.
Rodrigo Bentancur is still serving his suspension and Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore are all out of action.

Fulham team news
Joachim Andersen sustained a calf injury against Wolves and the centre-back will be missing for the "next few games" at the very least according to his manager Marco Silva. With Jorge Cuenca also sidelined, Fulham find themselves short on central defenders.
Ryan Sessegnon could miss a return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to a knock, while Harrison Reed is unavailable in the centre of the park after undergoing knee surgery over the November international break.

Tottenham vs Fulham score prediction
It would be typical of Tottenham to follow up last weekend's mauling of Man City with a tame defeat to Fulham on home soil. However, with Silva's side having suffered their own embarrassment last time out, Spurs could take advantage of some mental fragility.
Either way, Sunday's affair should be a cracker. Both sides have a myriad of attacking threats and are likely to fight fire with fire in north London. Goals should follow as a result, especially given that neither side is particularly impressive defensively, and we're backing Spurs to edge an entertaining affair.
