Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham Predictions

• Tottenham have won six of their first eight games, scoring at least twice in seven
• Spurs have won 13 of the last 15 clashes between these two sides
• Fulham have scored no more than once across their last 17 league meetings with Spurs

Stellar start for Spurs

The international break represented a great chance to stop and appreciate the impressive start to the season Tottenham have made. Ange Postecoglou has led Spurs to six wins from eight games, which had them top of the table going into this round of games.

Playing on Monday offers Spurs a chance to recover from the break, having seen a couple of their players pick up knocks while away on international duty. While the hosts will have likely fallen off top spot by the time this game kicks off, they’re strong favourites to return to the summit with three points.

Defensive issues remain for hosts

The positivity around Spurs makes it feel harsh to pick holes in their start, but it has to be noted that defensively they are still having some issues. Both teams have scored in four of their last five league games, while before that they played out a 1-1 draw with Fulham in the Carabao Cup.

The hosts have conceded in home wins over Sheffield United and Liverpool, with Monday’s clash pitting them against a Fulham side who have found the net in three of their first four trips this season. The Cottagers have scored across each of their last five visits to Spurs in the league, so they should be expected to cause some problems

Son can lead hosts to victory

While Fulham have a decent scoring record in this fixture, they haven’t scored more than once in any of their last 17 Premier League games against Tottenham. On top of that, Spurs have won 13 of their last 15 Premier League games between the pair, so their strong start to the season looks set to continue.

The hosts have scored at least twice in seven of their eight games so far, which should see them overcome any defensive issues. Spurs have seen Son Heung Min produce the goods in the wake of Harry Kane’s departure, with the South Korean scoring six goals across his last five league games.

Back Son to add to that scoring streak in a victory for the hosts. Given the defensive issues the hosts are suffering and Fulham’s habit of scoring exactly once in this fixture, back a home win and both teams to score.
