Tottenham Hotspur host Fulham on Saturday evening, needing a response after a difficult week.
A 4-1 derby defeat to Arsenal was compounded by a 5-3 loss in Paris. Consequently, Thomas Frank is under pressure to tighten up his defence. Despite these setbacks, Spurs can rely on a dominant home record against Fulham.
The hosts have not lost three consecutive London derbies in the same campaign since 2021. Furthermore, they have overperformed their expected goals (xG) more than any other side this season. Today, they will look to Richarlison to fire them back to winning ways. In fact, the striker has scored in his last two league starts.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
Manager Thomas Frank faces a defensive reshuffle for the visit of Fulham. Vice-captain Cristian Romero is serving a one-match suspension after accumulating five yellow cards. Therefore, Kevin Danso is expected to come into the starting XI. He will partner Micky van de Ven in central defence.
In midfield, João Palhinha will likely line up against his former club. He should partner Rodrigo Bentancur in what promises to be a robust battle.
In attack, Spurs receive a boost with the return of Brennan Johnson. He is available after missing the Champions League trip due to suspension. Consequently, he is likely to slot back into the lineup on the right. Meanwhile, Randal Kolo Muani might have to settle for a place on the bench. This is despite scoring a brace midweek, as Richarlison is expected to retain his spot as the central striker.
