Tottenham produced one of the best performances in the Premier League this season after hitting Man City for four at the Etihad last weekend.
However, their big challenge this weekend will be to follow up on that dominant win when they host Fulham.
Last Saturday’s win in Manchester lifted Spurs up to sixth in the standings, and a win this Sunday could see them end the round as high as second in the standings.
Fulham’s two-game winning sequence was brought to an abrupt end at home against Wolves last weekend, as they suffered a 4-1 defeat at Craven Cottage. However, their pace on the counter-attack could cause issues for Spurs this weekend.
Odds
As expected, Tottenham will be the clear favorites this weekend against Fulham, as they are priced up at -149. The Cottagers are a +360 chance to claim a win on the road.

|---|---|
| Tottenham | -149 |

Fulham recorded a rare win against Tottenham in the latest clash between the sides, winning 3-0 at Craven Cottage in March.
That success ended a four-game winning sequence in this matchup for Tottenham.
Spurs have won four of their last five home matches against the Cottagers, with their only dropped points coming in the form of a 1-1 draw in January 2021. However, Fulham haven’t recorded a league away win at Tottenham since March 2013.

Tottenham vs. Fulham Prediction
A case can certainly be made for Fulham this weekend, as they have the attacking quality to inflict a counter-attack win on Tottenham as Spurs did to Man City last weekend.
Spurs also have no shortage of defensive issues that they need to contend with, and the pace of Traore and Iwobi in the transitions could see there being value in siding with the away win.
