Tottenham dey risk collect their third straight loss for all competitions as dem welcome inconsistent Fulham for Saturday night Premier League London derby.
The Lilywhites chop eight-goal thriller midweek against Paris Saint-Germain, while Fulham knack Sunderland 1-0 last weekend.
Match Preview
Since international break finish, Tottenham defence don loose balance — dem dey concede almost every 20 minutes. Arsenal and PSG don use that one run riot for Spurs last two matches.
Even though Spurs attack try for Parc des Princes on Wednesday night, Vitinha scatter their hopes with hat-trick as PSG win 5-3.
Still, that show better pass their previous Premier League humiliation — the 4-1 North London derby beating from Arsenal. But four losses and only one win from their last six matches no dey paint any fine picture.
Despite all the struggle, Spurs still dey nine position and na only three points dem dey behind top four. And even with all their build-up wahala, scoring 10 goals in four games show say attack no be the main problem.
But the bigger issue na home form — only Wolves get worse home record than Tottenham this season. Spurs don collect just five points from six home matches.
Funny enough, Wolves na the only team wey get worse away record than Fulham. The Cottagers never win any Premier League away game this season.
Five of Fulham’s six away matches na loss, the only small joy na 1-1 draw against Brighton for opening weekend. But home form dey keep Marco Silva safe.

Four of Fulham last five Premier League games see only one team score — including their last three matches.
The last time Spurs host Fulham for this stadium na 1-1 draw for December 2024. Fulham then win 2-0 for Craven Cottage in March, extend their unbeaten run against Spurs to three Premier League games.
