The Premier League returns with exciting games awaiting this Saturday as Fulham welcomes Tottenham at Craven (5:30 pm). Tottenham, currently in 5th position, faces a challenging task if they aim to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Fulham, positioned 12th, suffered a 2-1 defeat last weekend against Wolves.
Fulham vs. Tottenham
This will be a significant game and weekend for Tottenham as they strive to secure the fourth position in the EPL table by defeating Fulham. Ange Postecoglou’s team gained crucial points with a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, placing them two points behind their rivals. Aston Villa will face West Ham on Sunday in their 29th game of the season. The Fulham vs Tottenham match is expected to have potential goals. Notably, Tottenham emerged as the winner in their previous encounter with the host, securing a 2-0 victory in October.
Fulham, positioned 12th in the Premier League, must improve their performance following last weekend’s defeat against Wolves. Although they are currently safe from relegation, the team is far from reaching the Europa League. However, Fulham has displayed an impressive performance in their home games, winning six out of their last ten matches. They now aim to reach the 10th position.
Head-to-Head Stats
Tottenham has had an impressive season and is just two points away from securing a spot in the Europa League for the next season. The lethal duo of Son Heung-min and Maddison poses a threat to the Fulham squad. They must make a significant impact this Saturday to secure the fourth position. While Fulham has achieved impressive results in their last 14 home games, recent head-to-head statistics indicate Tottenham’s strength.
Fulham has lost 14 out of 16 matches against Tottenham in the Premier League. The last time Fulham defeated Tottenham was in 2013 with a 1-0 scoreline. On the other hand, Tottenham has won eight matches, drawn two, and lost two in their last twelve games. However, Fulham should not be underestimated, as they are the only team to beat Arsenal this season and have triumphed over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Following a successful win at Villa Park, Tottenham has set their sights on fourth place in the league. Out of the past 15 meetings with Fulham, Tottenham has secured 12 wins, while Fulham has only managed one. Moreover, Fulham’s performance in their last four games has been poor, losing two of them by a 2-1 margin. If Tottenham emerges victorious over Fulham on Saturday evening, they have a chance to secure a top-four position. Spurs can make a difference and add another win to their record after their previous 2-0 victory over Fulham in October.
