Tottenham Hotspur travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday, aiming to secure their first victory of 2026 and avoid equalling a 32-year winless record.
The Lilywhites have moved into a critical phase of their season, sitting just 16th in the table and only four points above the relegation zone. Manager Igor Tudor oversaw a disappointing 4–1 defeat to Arsenal in his opening game and is now desperate to avoid becoming only the second Spurs manager to lose his first two matches in charge. Notably, Tottenham have lost their last two away league games against Fulham by an aggregate score of 5–0.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Igor Tudor manages a squad still missing several influential leaders, but receives a significant boost in defensive areas. Notably, Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso are back in training and expected to be drafted straight into the starting XI. Consequently, Tudor may have the personnel required to better implement his preferred 3-4-2-1 system. Micky van de Ven is also fit to start despite a minor toe scare. However, Cristian Romero remains suspended, while James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Rodrigo Bentancur are among a long list of injured absentees.
Guglielmo Vicario will start in goal behind a back three featuring Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Radu Drăgușin. In midfield, João Palhinha and Conor Gallagher are expected to anchor the side, with Pedro Porro and Djed Spence operating as wing-backs. Pape Matar Sarr and Xavi Simons will provide the creative support for Randal Kolo Muani, who scored his first goal for the club last weekend. Notably, Tottenham have won just one of their last 10 league games when playing three at the back, a trend Tudor must break today.
