Tottenham – Fulham

Match analysis

Tottenham host Fulham in what promises to be a decisive clash at the bottom of the table, with the Spurs sitting 17th on two points after four games – all defeats or draws and a grim –5 goal difference. Fulham, just a place below them, have managed only a single point from three matches, their three losses leaving them with a –3 net tally after conceding seven and scoring four. Both sides will be desperate for their first win, and the fixture could well reshape the relegation battle, especially given the slim one‑point gap separating them. A positive result for either club would not only lift them out of the relegation zone but also provide a much‑needed boost in confidence as the season progresses.
